The Gympie Aquatic and Recreation Centre is set to reopen its internal heated pool on Monday 2 September, after a team of specialist engineers and builders finalised the repairs to the facility on Thursday.

The team spent the last three weeks re-fixing the aluminium strips framing the acoustic panels as well as re-fixing the screws in the acoustic panels that fix the panels to the ceiling frame. Belgravia Leisure, who manage the facility, are now undertaking final tests of the heated pool in preparation for its reopening.

The schedule of tests that will take place this week include daily cleaning and vacuuming of the pool, filter changes, hazard, temperature, chlorine, PH and water quality checks.

Gympie Regional Council would like to thank patrons for their patience while the repairs took place.
