- Victorian Council of Churches Emergencies Ministry
DOMAIN PLAYGROUND
The shade sail at the Station Domain playground will be restored on Thursday, 7 March.
The covering was torn from support poles during storm winds and required complete replacement.
Our Operations Team moved quickly during the holiday period to protect community safety, assess the damage and re-open the area for families at the popular facility.
The playground will be closed from 7.30am for the whole day.
OUTDOOR POOL SEASON EXTENDED
The Outdoor Pool Season at Dunolly and Talbot will be extended to Monday 1 April, 2024.
The extended outdoor pool season will mean local residents continue to have access to aquatic facilities during the warmer weather whilst the 25-metre pool at the Maryborough Sports and Leisure Centre is upgraded.
To make way for the upgrade, the pool hall at the Maryborough Sports and Leisure Centre will close on Monday, 4 March.
The current pool tiles are almost 25 years old and are at the end of their life. They'll be replaced, along with the tiles surrounding the pool concourse, so that the pool can be enjoyed for many more years to come.
The project is expected to be complete late May.
