INDOOR POOL
We are all looking forward to the re-opening of the pool at the Maryborough Sports and Leisure Centre.
The project to re-tile the 25-metre pool is almost finished, and we are doing everything we can to ensure it can re-open as soon as possible.
At this stage the pool will re-open mid-June. The exact date will be communicated as soon as it is confirmed.
We appreciate your patience.
This project was made possible with funding through the Federal Government's Local Roads and Community Infrastructure program.
DELEDIO COURTS OPENING
Join us for the official opening celebration of the new courts at Deledio Recreation Reserve.
With the previous courts at the end of their life and deemed unplayable, the new dedicated netball court and multi-use tennis and netball court can be enjoyed for generations to come.
This is an opportunity for the Dunolly community to come together to celebrate their new facilities.
The project was jointly funded by the Victorian Government and Council, in partnership with the Dunolly Football Netball Club and the Deledio Recreation Reserve Committee of Management.
