Water play will be on hold for a few weeks, with Bluewater Lagoon closing from Monday, July 13, for its annual maintenance and repair program.

The popular attraction is expected to reopen on August 13, with the closure allowing for essential upkeep. Any changes to the schedule due to weather or unforeseen circumstances will be communicated to the community. 

Included in the schedule of works this year is:

  • Upgrades to the children’s area including repairing the liner of the pool and re-waterproofing the splash pad
  • Plant room maintenance
  • General grounds and facilities upkeep

The works are essential to ensure the facility remains safe and operational and continues to provide a high recreational experience.  Council apologises for any inconvenience this may cause.


Alternative swimming opportunities are available at the Mackay Aquatic Recreation Centre and the Memorial Pool.
