The Dal Ryan Memorial Pool in Laidley will re-open its doors a little later this year, as Council continues flood repair works on the facility.
The ongoing repair works are essential following multiple floods over the past few years, Lockyer Valley Facilities Portfolio Councillor Anthony Wilson said.
“The Laidley Pool has been impacted by multiple weather events, and we are working towards having the damage repaired before summer begins.
“Specialists are needed to complete the repairs and, at this stage, the soonest they will be available is October.
“The works are expected to take several weeks, weather permitting, after which time the pool will then be refilled and recommissioned.
“These works need to be completed before this season’s opening to ensure the pool is both safe and fully operational for public use.
“We understand how important the Laidley Pool is for the community, especially over the warmer months, and our top priority is making sure the facility is as safe as possible.
“We appreciate the public’s patience as the repairs are completed,” Cr Wilson said.
Council has notified local schools of the works and will continue to work with the pool operator and other impacted users throughout the repair process. Council will provide a revised opening date as soon as possible.
