North Sydney Council (Council) has voted at a meeting last night, 22 July 2024, to commence legal proceedings against Brewster Hjorth Architects (BHA) for breach of contract in relation to design services for the North Sydney Olympic Pool redevelopment.
The decision is based on the consideration of legal advice by Councillors, and follows a dispute resolution process between Council and BHA, which ultimately did not resolve the dispute.
North Sydney Olympic Pool is an iconic site, and Council's focus has been and remains on ensuring that the redevelopment project is delivered to a high standard so that the facility can once again be enjoyed by everyone. Council is confident the legal proceedings will not impact the current timelines for the completion of the refurbishment. Slated for completion in early 2025.
Council continues to remain focused on the delivery of the refurbishment, and is committed to keeping the community updated as the project progresses.
