The only public 50-metre pool in Logan, situated at Underwood, is being re-built, and is set to open in April.
The pool will be closed for the works to take place.
City Lifestyle chair Laurie Koranski said the redeveloped pool would benefit the community for many years to come.
“The pool is more than 30 years old and increasing maintenance and operating cost means that it was a better decision to replace the pool,” Cr Koranski said.
Logan City Council allocated $9 million in last year’s budget.
When finished, the new pool would have:
• Potential for two additional lanes, increasing pool capacity for leisure, squad training, school carnivals and regional competitions.
• Improved water quality controls.
• New energy-efficient pumps and filtration will lower power costs.
• Reduced water consumption costs.
• Removal of obsolete pipework will reduce the risks of future issues.
• Reduced pool closures for maintenance and repairs.
The inSports gym, indoor pool and Aqualogan Laurie Lawrence Swim School will still be open when the main pool is closed.
