A Short Closure of The Moree Artesian Aquatic Centre (MAAC) Pools

Council would like to inform the community that due to urgent maintenance works all pools at the Moree Artesian Aquatic Centre (MAAC) will close on Tuesday 8 August for 4 days as Council has secured a contractor to complete these essential works.

While we understand that this is short notice, we expect operations to resume at the MAAC from 8am, Saturday 12 August, allowing patrons access once again to the Passive and Program Pools at the Centre.

Acting General Manager, Nick Tobin stated “We understand that this closure may cause inconvenience and disruption to patrons plans while we undertake repairs to the liner in the Program Pool and tile maintenance on the Passive Pool.

During the closure, the reception at the MAAC will remain open allowing Belgravia Leisure to operate the gym and café, and assist patrons with any enquiries from 6am to 7pm.

I would like to advise that Council has already gone out to selective tender for the clubhouse, 50m pool and grandstand, with applications closing on 14 August 2023.

As contractors become available, progression continues on the Active and Wellness Pool with the newly laid re-enforcement in place, with concreting to commence in the Wellness Pool, while the Active Pool is at the stage of having plumbing works tested”, said Mr Tobin.

We apologise to users of the MAAC for this brief closure, however, it is necessary for the outcome of a larger scope of work to be conducted for the MAAC redevelopment.

Council remains committed to the MAAC redevelopment with $16,668,389 in budget, including $6,735,270 secured in NSW State Government funding.
