Updates

12 April 2019

• A fence is being put up around Naenae Pool on Monday 15 April. The carpark beside the pool remains open. Members of the public are welcome to use this free carpark.
• Following the engineering report and the decision to close the pool our staff have moved out and are now based at other council offices around Lower Hutt.

Pool update:

• We are currently working on a community engagement plan to help inform decisions on finding a way forward. To help inform these decisions, Beca are progressing the remediation proposal and cost estimate (this will provide both a cost estimate for remediation as well as an indication of the facilities useful life thereafter) and Hawkins Construction are being contracted to progress concepts and cost estimates for other options that could be considered.

Other activity:

• Free bus service to Stokes Valley Pool. On Wednesday 24 and Friday 26 April a bus will depart the bus stop between Naenae Pool and Naenae Community Hall at 10am and will return from Stokes Valley Pool at 12pm. They are on a first come first serve basis, so be in quick! This is recommended for tamariki and rangatahi aged 9-17 years. Children under the age of 9 years will only be able to travel on the bus if they have a parent accompanying them. All children will need to provide a consent form completed by their parent or caregiver on the spot before departure. Please note: Entry fee for pool still applies.
• Council teams are looking at how we can take a coordinated response to provide targeted, increased activity in and around Hillary Court. The Naenae Library/Clubhouse teams are also exploring extending services, activities and opening hours.
• Temporary options for a gym in Naenae are being actively explored.

See the original media release on Council's website for more background information on the report.
