The grand opening of the redeveloped Goulburn Aquatic & Leisure Centre has been delayed one month, likely to now be opened in the last week of April, on Friday 29th.
Although the vast majority of the pool hall and plant room work is complete, the project has been severely affected by wet weather over the past three weeks, leading to a delay in completion of external stairs and the southern car park.
"We have made the difficult decision to delay the opening by a month, to allow the project to be properly completed" said Mayor Peter Walker.
"Council has to ensure that once we open the doors the site is accessible and safe for all, and we would also like to have it looking fantastic with the completion of all of the landscaping and external works before we do let patrons in for use."
"Once we have a firm confirmation of a completion date in early April we will announce this, and look forward to a huge opening weekend likely on the final weekend of that month. We can't wait for our community to see this wonderful facility."
The Goulburn Aquatic & Leisure Centre redevelopment includes a new 8 lane twenty five metre indoor pool, indoor program pool, hydrotherapy pool, water play areas, gym, café linking with Victoria Park, upgraded change rooms and facilities and new car parking facilities.
