Keep Warragamba Pool Open Year‑Round

We, the undersigned, call on council to end the outdated practice of closing Warragamba Pool during winter between daylight saving switch‑over. This closure is based on legislation written decades ago, when our community was far smaller. Today, Warragamba has grown, and the demand for accessible, affordable recreation has never been greater.  

Closing the pool disadvantages families, children, seniors, and fitness enthusiasts who rely on it for health, safety, and community connection. Seasonal shutdowns also undermine local initiatives that promote wellbeing and inclusivity.  

We propose a practical solution: reduced winter hours from 6am to 2pm, ensuring continued access while balancing operational needs. With the new addition of Aquaaerobics, Warragamba Pool can remain a hub of activity and wellbeing all year round.  

I see firsthand and hear many stories and ideas from different community members, and I felt that in my role I should give this a voice.  

The community should not suffer because council refuses to support modern, year‑round access. Warragamba Pool is a vital community asset, and it must reflect the needs of today, not the past.  

We urge council to review this outdated legislation and commit to keeping Warragamba Pool open year‑round for the benefit of all residents.
