Olinda Pool Update #4
This week council officers provided councillors with an
updated briefing about the current state of the Olinda Pool.
Since the pool was discussed at Council’s 28 January
meeting, further engineering inspections, workshops and site visits with
engineers, pool specialists and manufacturers have been conducted to fully
explore the range of options available.
The following information was highlighted to councillors
at the briefing:
The pool has significant cracks and is porous resulting in significant water leakage
Water leakage has resulted in a high ground water level which is putting pressure on the pool shell, and continues to create significant cracks in the pool floor and wall
Core testing and pipe testing has been undertaken and is currently being analyse.
The pool and buildings on the site do not comply with the current Building Code and other health, disability access and occupational health and safety legislation and regulations.
Council officers will continue their investigations
around the possible range of options, both short term and long term, for the
pool.The pool has significant cracks and is porous resulting in significant water leakage
