THE Cleveland Aquatic Centre will begin re-opening to the public from tomorrow, October 14 with the 25-metre outdoor pool, indoor pool and children play pool open for use.
Work is continuing on the centre's 50-metre pool.
The partial re-opening follows the successful testing of completed plumbing and electrical works, replacement of the indoor and 25-metre pool filter mediums, as well refurbishment of the children's play pool, centre kiosk and centre-wide painting, decking, tiling and landscaping.
Redland City Mayor Karen Williams said while work continues on the 50-metre pool and its major filter replacement, users will see a huge difference already at the revitalised centre.
"This work has created local employment and generated economic recovery when our city needed it most, including using mainly local contractors and materials," she said.
Cr Peter Mitchell said the partial re-opening to the public would be welcomed for many users who have waited patiently, first with COVID closure and then major renewal and repair works.
"Council and centre operator Belgravia Leisure are anticipating the completion of the remaining 50-metre pool work by the end of the year and are excited to welcome patrons back in the meantime."
"It will be well worth taking the necessary time to complete these upgrades and improvements properly, and I thank the public, especially regular users, for their patience," he said.
Council acknowledges the state government's COVID Works for Queensland Funding contribution of $830,000 towards this project.
