Comments
The Lawson Swim Centre was opened in 1968 and offers a
50 metre pool and two smaller pools. The facility operates
6 month each year with gas heating supplemented with
solar heating.
The outdoor pools are in a poor condition and are in critical
need of renewal. All pools currently operate on the same
filtration plant. This practise can continue short term
however it is recommended that high risk pools operate on
a separate filtration system.
The facilities are enjoyed by approximately 30,000 visitors
annually and is particularly popular with school swimming
carnivals.

Risks
Response
The outdoor pool filtration plant is in critical need of upgrade
as it cracked on all sides and three pools are operating
on the one system.
Temporary closure of pools will be required where water
quality standards can not be maintained. Increased testing
protocols have been implemented.
Failure to carry out adequate maintenance works will lead
to increased public safety risks.
Equipment and facility inspections are carried out to identify
and isolate risks.
Confidence in Data:
HIGH
MODERATE
Increasing energy costs will impact on the Councils ability
to continue with the current operating hours.
Artificial lighting has been removed but is at times necessary
to continue current operating hours.
Cost reduction initiatives such as solar pool heating have
been implemented and opportunities will continue to be pursued.
