Locals will not be able to access Bluewater Lagoon this coming winter, with plans to repair the lining confirmed.
Mackay Regional Council has announced the schedule for the refurbishment of Bluewater Lagoon, with the tender awarded to Aquatic Project Solutions.
This project with encompass two winter periods, 2023 and 2024, with the 2023 winter seeing the repair of the children’s pool.
2024 will see the relining of the main and top pools.
“In 2021, patchwork was completed to the lagoon’s surface as a short-term solution to fix leaks that were discovered in the lining of the lagoon,” Major Greg Williamson said.
“This resurfacing work will be a long-term solution.”
The relining work will be completed with a Polyvinyl Chloride membrane structure, which will decrease maintenance commitments.
However, the proposed budget for the repair has been far exceeded, by about $500,000.
“This will be addressed through a budget adjustment request so residents and future generations of Mackay locals can continue to enjoy the benefits of this facility,” said the Mayor.
The first stage of the Bluewater Lagoon repairs will take place May 1 to September 4. During this time, the Bluewater Lagoon café will also be closed.
