Further improvements will soon get underway at the AC Baths, following approval by council for a new private pool area.
The AC Baths complex has undergone a number of upgrades this year including a new hydro-slide and a sauna refurbishment. Repainting of the outdoor pool is currently underway and expected to be finished in October.
The private pool area, which has been closed since early January due to age, will be refurbished with four new family pools and two additional showers for sauna users.
Business and operations manager Scott Attenborough said he was delighted to see the plan to upgrade the private pool area moving forward.
“The option chosen will make the area much more family friendly with all spas opening to a garden area.
“It is great to be able to see these improvements taking place and the enjoyment our community is getting out of the facilities,” he said.
The project, which was approved through the 2018-2028 Long Term Plan with a budget of $1,155,000, is likely to get underway in January.
