  • Bulahdelah pool will remain unsupervised with access will be controlled through an electronic entry system.

Background

Operations cost 2022-2023: $96,070

Annual Deficit: $96,070

  • Operational costs: Swimming pool operations are currently subsidised heavily by Council - $2.55 million last year (2022-2023 swim season). This cost is expected to increase by 5% each year.
  • Ongoing repairs: The operational costs do not include capital replacement and refurbishment costs for the existing pools which is estimated to be in the order of $14 million over the next 10 years.
  • Additional funding: We will continue to seek funding for improvements to energy efficiency to reduce the costs of running pools to the community.
