Pool investigations continue
TECHNICAL investigations of the Port Fairy pool and gym facility have been progressing over the last two weeks.
On-site inspections have been undertaken on a range of elements.
The pool shell, concrete concourse, plant room, portal frames and roof components have all been inspected ahead of a comprehensive technical report.
Moyne Shire mayor Cr Jordan Lockett said further works were continuing on-site ahead of the preparation of a report, including quantity and cost estimates.
The technical investigation will analyse all components of the facility to identify current defects, failures and compliance issues; assess structural integrity of building and roof elements; measure the extent, causes and remediation requirements for mould contamination, and assess plant and equipment safety, compliance, condition and expected remaining life.
The investigation will also assess the pool shell, concourse and related structural components; identify short-term rectification works to enable safe operation (if feasible); identify and quantify the medium and long-term renewal, upgrade or existing asset component requirements, and prepare lifecycle-based cost estimates covering ongoing maintenance costs, and capital renewal costs.
“The final report will be presented to council at its meeting in May 2026 and will be available to the public,” Cr Lockett said.
