Sunbury Aquatic and Leisure Centre’s (SALC) 25-metre pool will be closed for approximately three weeks after a leak was discovered on Friday, May, 12.
Hume council said it made the decision to close the pool in order for repairs to the underground pipes to take place after testing on Tuesday, May 16, identified that immediate closure was required to carry out repairs.
In response to inquiries by the Star Weekly, Hume council said no known cause for the leak has been identified.
The warm water pool and gym are not affected by the repair work and will remain open as usual, council said.
Learn to swim classes will be relocated to the warm water pool when possible and families will be credited for the missed lessons that cannot be relocated.
Council said all SALC members will not be charged any fees for aquatic use for the duration of the closure, and they will be able to access the pools at Broadmeadows Aquatic and Leisure Centre and Splash Aqua Park and Leisure Centre free of charge during this time.
