Cabonne Council has seven (7) across the Local Government Area. These are currently operated and maintained internally by Cabonne Council.

The seven pools are a highly valued by the communities they serve. All seven pools were built over 50 years ago with a commonality of design and engineering across the older infrastructure.

Due to the age of the plant rooms and water treatment systems there are some reliability and non-compliance issues. Cabonne Council is committed to maintaining these valued community assets.

For this reason, Cabonne Council successfully applied for a NSW Government Grant through the Resources for Regions – Round Nine (9) – Program.

The primary focus of the Cabonne grant is the Pool Plant Rooms these upgrades will provide energy efficiency, circulation, filtration and chlorination improvements whist reducing risk and enabling operational / maintenance benefits.

Cabonne’s Pools are of an older configuration with the circulation and filtration rates below recommended. Upgrades to plant rooms will be facilitated through system designs that utilise common plant, filters, Cl analysers, pumps and products that are commonly used within the pool industry.

Council is looking to engage a suitably qualified contractor with the capacity and capability to undertake the completion of the design and construction of the various plant rooms as defined in stage one (1) of this document. The technical scoping criteria are detailed within this document, the Pool Contractor is responsible for the final detailed design, project co-ordination, installation, and commissioning.
