Pool contract awarded

The Town Council has awarded to the South Australian company CASA Leisure the management contract for the aquatic and leisure centre, although the council will carry out a range of functions.
This follows the failure of the contract with the YMCA.
CASA runs four recreation centres, a stadium, a golf course and a leisure and fitness centre, all in SA.
The contract for a one year plus four year option, for $415,000 plus $65,000.
The council will be responsible for the maintenance of grounds, plant and equipment, buildings and utilities including gas, electricity and water for both the 12 month contract and the four year option, should it be exercised.
During the 12 month contract a working group be set up with key stake holders including the  centre management, council and interested community groups, says Mayor Damien Ryan.
