Cootamundra-Gundagai Regional Council (CGRC) has announced today that the Indoor Pool in Cootamundra will re-open on Monday 22 June. The pool will be operating with restricted numbers and a COVID safe plan in place.
CGRC mayor Cr Abb McAlister said the decision to reopen the facility was made after extensive plans were put in place to comply with COVID-19 safe working plans.
“I’m pleased our staff have been able to formulate a safe plan for all pool users, it’s been difficult to juggle the financial viability with the restricted numbers allowable and with the communities need to use the facility,” Cr McAlister said.
