NAMBUCCA Valley Council has announced a projected partial reopening of the Macksville Memorial Aquatic and Fitness Centre, with facilities expected to be available for public use from 1 September.
Last week, user groups were given a tour of the Centre to view the extent of the damage and discuss the ongoing repair works.
Following this, Council is now able to confirm that several key areas will be operational by early September.
The indoor and outdoor pools, gym and indoor gym changerooms will be reopened, although the air-conditioning system will not yet be operational.
The kiosk, creche and children’s pool, and changerooms near the kiosk require further repairs and do not yet have a reopening date.
“Council will continue to provide updates as repair works progress and reopening dates for the remaining areas become clearer,” Council said in a statement.
“We extend our sincere thanks to everyone who has offered kind messages of support throughout this difficult period.
“Every disaster and recovery process is unique, and we understand how challenging this has been for our community.
“Your patience and understanding are truly appreciated as we work toward a full reopening.”
