Project Update - Moree Artesian Aquatic Centre (MAAC)
Passive Pool
A further update on the remediation works at the MAAC, today saw the concrete slab poured in the Passive Pool. Once stabilised, the concrete will take a further 28 days to cure and set.
Active Pool
Plumbing works continue in the Active Pool with durable, fit-for-purpose poly piping.
Program Pool
Since the implementation of the new filters, work on emptying approximately 118,00 litres of water from the Program Pool is being undertaken.
The pool will be refilled tomorrow, with the balance tank cleaned out. Once thorough testing has been completed, we will advise the community of its opening.
Again, thank you to Marty O’Neil, Level Plumbing Tamworth, along with the Roejen team. More importantly, we thank the community for your patience and understanding while these works are being undertaken to bring back this long-awaited community facility.

Project Update - Moree Artesian Aquatic Centre (MAAC)
We’re excited to share some great progress on the long-awaited redevelopment of the Moree Artesian Aquatic Centre.
Passive Pool
A brand-new project team is now on site and specialist local and regional contractors have been engaged to complete the Passive Pool works. A huge thanks to Crawford Constructions for clearing 18 truckloads of rubble and setting the stage for the next big milestone, a new concrete pour by Marty O’Neil and his team next week.
Active Pool
Work is also moving ahead on the Active Pool. Level Plumbing Tamworth has completed the replacement of the steel pipes with durable, fit-for-purpose poly piping and is connecting all the new plumbing for both pools in line with design specifications. A special thank you to our project team, David and Mark, for keeping everything on track, safely, efficiently and on budget. After years of waiting, it’s great to see this project gaining strong momentum.
Stay tuned for more updates as we bring this long-awaited community facility closer to completion.

Project Update - Moree Artesian Aquatic Centre (MAAC)
Work is progressing well at the Moree Artesian Aquatic Centre (MAAC) as part of the ongoing upgrade program. Around 70 tonnes of concrete have already been removed from the Passive Pool, marking another major milestone in the project.
The safe removal of a small section of external asbestos at the clubhouse has been completed, and further work on the reinstatement of the cantilever beam and removal of temporary post support over the change rooms is underway to ensure public safety.
We’re also pleased to share that new filtration pumps, an important part of keeping the pools running smoothly, have been delivered and installed. This upgrade, representing an investment of almost $100,000, will allow us to drain, clean and recommission the Program Pool. Once that process is complete, the waterslide will return to operation.
The Program Pool is expected to reopen by the end of November, and we are excited to be getting closer to welcoming everyone back.
A huge thank you to the community for your patience and understanding as we continue these important works to restore the MAAC experience for everyone.
