Following the closure of the pools at the Moree Artesian Aquatic Centre (MAAC) on Tuesday January 8, Moree Plains Shire Council is working hard to reopen the pool by the end of January.
Council says they’ve replaced the failed equipment, with the chlorine tanks delivered last week and the installation completed.
Four new chlorine pumps and piping have also been purchased, however, due to transport logistics
delays, unfortunately the materials that Council anticipated to arrive last week will now be delivered this week.
This delay has impacted the timeline for the full reopening of the facility.
“We are now working towards the re-opening of the aquatic side of the MAAC after the Australia Day
long weekend.” said Acting General Manager Darryl Fitzgerald.
Fitzgerald expressed his appreciation of the endeavours by council staff and local contractors and businesses to have the MAAC reopened before the Australia Day long weekend.
“We acknowledged the community’s understanding as we work diligently with SafeWork NSW to have the Centre up and running as soon as possible.”
Access to the gym and café continue to remain available.
