Work is continuing on a $2.28 million project at a public pool complex, with the facility’s reopening remaining on schedule.
The improvements at Noosa Aquatic Centre include refurbishing the 50m pool’s filtration system and replacing the program (smaller) pool’s filtration system.
Workers are now more than seven weeks into the planned 12-week project.
Council’s Sport and Active Lifestyles Manager Brad Chalmers said the upgrades represented a significant investment in the long-term reliability, safety and performance of the facility.
“While much of this work is happening behind the scenes, it’s essential to maintaining the high-quality swimming environment our community expects at the NAC,” he said.
“It’s pleasing to see the project progressing smoothly and on schedule, thanks to the efforts of our contractors and project management team lead by Recor.”
Specialised aquatic engineers CMP Corp have carried out extensive refurbishment works on the 50m pool, while filtration specialists Halogen Pools have upgraded the previous 26-year-old program pool filtration system.
Work is expected to be completed in early September, weather and site conditions permitting.
The council stated that it thanked patrons for their patience during the maintenance period and “looks forward to reopening the pools once testing and commissioning is complete”.
