Plans have now been finalised and construction started for additional shade around the Olympic pool.  

Through the support of the community with the 2014 Australia Day Moree Swimmers Fund Swimathon, Moree Plains Shire has matched and exceeded the funding to install a 10x23m all-weather shade structure at the western (deep) end of the pool.

Working around the busy month of swimming carnivals in February, on-site construction will start towards the end of the month with completion due for mid-March.

The structure will cast shade along the concourse, blocks and a portion of the grass, proving an ideal marshalling area for swimming carnivals as well as shade that can be utilised throughout the entire year by all patrons.

A detailed drawing will be on display within the reception at the MAAC.  

MAAC Ltd would like to thank all of the participants and volunteers that made the Swimathon the success it was and creating the opportunity for additional shade to be constructed.
