Moyne Shire Council has announced the appointment of PM Design Group to undertake a comprehensive technical investigation at the Port Fairy Pool Facility.

Mayor, Cr Jordan Lockett said the investigation demonstrates Council’s recognition of the importance of aquatic facilities to the Port Fairy and surrounding community, and Council’s commitment to actively exploring all viable options for future provision.

PM Design will undertake the comprehensive technical investigation which will analyse all components of the facility to:

  • identify current defects, failures and compliance issues
  • assess structural integrity of building and roof elements
  • measure the extent, causes and remediation requirements for mould contamination
  • assess plant and equipment safety, compliance, condition and expected remaining life,
  • assess the pool shell, concourse and related structural components,
  • identify short-term rectification works to enable safe operation (if feasible),
  • identify and quantify the medium and long-term renewal, upgrade or existing asset component requirements and
  • prepare lifecycle-based cost estimates covering ongoing maintenance costs, and capital renewal costs

“The investigation and report will commence immediately,” said Cr Lockett.

“This will give us a thorough understanding of the current condition of the facility, and enable informed decision-making both short and long term,” he said.

The final report is expected to be considered at the May 2026 Ordinary Council Meeting.
