16.01.2022 Pyrenees Shire Council has announced it is looking at options for the upcoming pool season following YMCA Australia's decision to withdraw from the current contract. The YMCA had reportedly been offered a one-year extension to the current contract, which Council had anticipated being fulfilled.... Council officers are now working on engaging another contractor to run the Pyrenees Shire Pools this upcoming poll season. We know how important our pools are to the Pyrenees community, and we are going do our level best to get them up and running come December, said Pyrenees Shire Council CEO Jim Nolan. We are aware operating conditions in the current climate will pose an additional challenge. Council would like to thank the YMCA for providing this service to our community for the past 10 years. Council will continue to work with Avoca Friends of the Pool, Beaufort Friends of the Pool Inc. and the community in Landsborough to get the pools open.
