Mullum pool remains temporarily closed

Published on 26 September 2024

The Petria Thomas Swimming Pool (Mullumbimby pool) remains temporarily closed while Council staff and pool managers try to fix a problem with water quality.

The pool closed on 14 September when water became cloudy and treatment and mechanical processes would not resolve the problem.

While the clarity of the water has improved slightly, the problem has not been fixed and work is ongoing.

At this stage Council is unsure whether the pool will be open by the weekend.

“We sincerely apologise for this hiccup at the start of the season, and we are doing our best to get the pool open as soon as we can,” Malcolm Robertson, Acting Director Infrastructure Services, said.

People who have passes for the Mullumbimby pool can also use them at the Byron Bay pool.

People wanting to pick up their season passes, or discount books can call the pool manager on 02 6684 2494.

He may be away from the phone so people should leave a message, and he will organise for them to pick up their passes.

When the pool reopens information will be posted to Council’s website and Facebook page.
