Murgon’s Jubilee Swimming Pool, like most Council swimming pools, is closed over the winter months – partly for routine maintenance, and partly to help keep pool running costs down<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

May 20, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

The South Burnett Regional Council will consider a petition to keep the region’s swimming pools open all year.<\/p>\n

The petition, from a number of the region’s swimming groups, was tabled at the Council’s Wednesday meeting.<\/p>\n

Council staff will examine the cost implications of the proposal.<\/p>\n

At present most pools are closed over the winter months to reduce annual running costs, except for the South Burnett Aquatic Centre in Nanango which is open year-round.<\/p>\n

The estimated cost of operating Council’s pool network is about $800,000 per year.<\/p>\n

* * *<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Property portfolio chair Cr Terry Fleischfresser told the meeting pools in Kingaroy, Wondai, Murgon and Blackbutt are now closed for winter.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Routine maintenance and capital works will be undertaken during the “off season”.<\/p>\n

Tenders for the management of the Kingaroy and Proston swimming pools would also be called shortly, Cr Fleischfresser said.<\/p>\n

They will be advertised locally, as well as on the Queensland Royal Lifesaving and Swimming Australia websites.<\/p>\n

* * *<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The SBRC’s property section has drawn up a three year capital works program for the region’s community buildings, recreation and sporting facilities.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cr Fleischfresser said staff have reviewed, inspected and prioritised project requests to prepare the program, which will cover the period 2016\/17 to 2019\/20.<\/p>\n

* * *<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Property section staff are in the design and planning phases of a project to build a new Council records facility at the Kingaroy Works Depot.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When complete, the new facility will house 2, 5, 7 and 10-year retention documents.<\/p>\n

The section has also been working with the Lady Bjelke-Petersen Community Hospital Foundation, South Bank Day Hospital and Queensland Health to ensure the facility is compliant prior to commencement of operations later this month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
