Aquatic Swimming Pool: Project Manager Update (September)

Project Overview:
We are embarking on a thrilling journey to build a state-of-the-art 50-meter swimming pool, a leisure pool, and some fantastic BBQ areas for the community to enjoy. Our main focus is currently on the Demolition and Construction phases.

What's Happening Now:
The site is now securely fenced off to keep everyone safe and ensure that only authorised personnel are on site. If you have been around lately, you might have noticed that the demolition phase is in full swing. We have got heavy machinery working hard to break down the old 25-meter pool infrastructure. The debris is being carted away to the landfill, which has increased local traffic.

Here’s the scoop on the logistics:
Work Hours: The machinery is in action from 7am to 4pm on weekdays and occasionally on Saturdays from 7am to 12:30pm. On rare occasions, operations might extend to Sundays starting from 8am. Trucks are traveling from the site to the landfill outside of school hours.

Traffic Management: We have a traffic management plan in place to ensure everyone’s safety. Ron Hodnett Drive is closed to vehicles to prevent any incidents. We are aware of the vandalism issue with the “Road closed” signage and are working on a more permanent solution.

See the truck itinerary for the demolition period, which is expected to wrap up by the end of this month.

Sneak Peek:

Stay tuned, as there is so much more to come on this exciting journey. We anticipate this project will take us through to early 2026, and we can't wait to share each milestone with you!
