Annual Pool Close Down at the Moree Artesian Aquatic Centre (MAAC)

We would like to advise that the annual pool closure at the Moree Artesian Aquatic Centre (MAAC) will take place from 29 to 31 July 2024.

The annual shut down will allow Belgravia Leisure to complete regulated works before reopening on 1 August.

Parallel to the regulated works being completed, Council continues to work on remediation/upgrades within the Centre to the passive and active artesian pool(s).

Upon reopening in August, the passive pool will be closed for refurbishment and shortly thereafter the wellness pool will come online as the public artesian pool, offering Patrons an alternate artesian experience. 

Unfortunately, there will be a short period where no artesian pools are available, while this changeover occurs.

From 1 August 2024 entry to the pool will be charged a $2 for all aquatic users (excluding the waterslide and aqua programs). 

These changes will not affect the Aqua Movers’ program as this will continue to be facilitated in the program pool.

Once the wellness pool opens, due to its size, there will be a 30 patron limit at any one time.  To address capacity issues, we will be running one hour booking slots for patrons who wish to soak in the artesian water.

To help facilitate this, bookings can be made with Belgravia Leisure on (02) 6752 2272.

During this time, we cannot take group bookings for the wellness pool.

 The changes at the MAAC will bring into effect:

• $2.00 entry fee for everyone over 5 years of age (excluding aquatic programs, gym/fitness and slide fees).
• During the redevelopment of our outdoor artesian pools all Aquatic Memberships will be on hold.
• 30 patron and one hour session limit in the wellness pool.
• We encourage all patrons to call and make bookings for the wellness pool, to avoid disappointment.

The MAAC will recommence under the same operational times of Monday to Friday 6am to 7pm and Saturday and Sunday 8am to 6pm.

General Manager Kelvin Tytherleigh acknowledged “that the continual works do see interruptions and we understand that the Centre not running at full capacity, therefore, we have reduced the pool(s) entry fee to a flat $2.00. Council appreciates the community’s understanding as we continue to work on the redevelopment of the MAAC”.
