Maurie Kjar Aquatic Centre Upcoming Closure

Horizon Network needs to carry out replacement work with power poles and infrastructure which requires us to reluctantly shut the Maurie Kjar Aquatic Centre on Tuesday 22 July 2025 (weather permitting). Unfortunately, the work on the power infrastructure is urgent, and could not wait until the annual maintenance shut of the Maurie Kjar Aquatic Centre. Please note the annual shut will start 6 October 2025. We will be completing weather dependent work, so the reopening date will be confirmed closer to the time. We apologise for the inconvenience and thank our loyal pool complex patrons for their support.
