Last year’s patchwork repairs to the Bluewater Lagoon provided a short-term solution to leaks discovered in the lining, but now the Mackay Regional Council are seeking tenders for a permanent fix.
Mayor Greg Williamson said the current tender was seeking a long-term solution that would see the facility fully resurfaced during the winter maintenance period for all three pools.
“The work that was completed last year was a quick and temporary response so we could reopen the lagoon during the busy summer period,” he said.
“This project will ensure this facility continues to serve the needs of the community well into the future and it is expected to increase the longevity of the lagoon.
“With the implementation of the ongoing scheduled maintenance program, the lagoon should continue operating to its full potential.”
The Bluewater Lagoon will be closed from June 1 until August 31, 2022, to complete this work.
The café at Bluewater Lagoon will also be closed during this time.
Applicants are encouraged to apply for the tender through the QTenders website.
Submissions will close on Tuesday, May 31, at 10am.
