Background

Operations cost 2022-2023: $23,333

Annual Deficit: $23,333

• 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: This does 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.
