Willow Bend Sports Centre improvements

Lachlan Shire Council advises the public that whilst the Willow Bend Sports Centre has been closed, improvements to the building have been made.

An Expression of Interest has been sent out for potential operators for the Centre and an announcement is expected to be made within the next week.

The current closure has given Council the opportunity to enhance the safety of the facility through provision of additional cameras, connection of cameras at the front entry to a screen within the gym and the purchase of an automated external defibrillator.

Council has also recently installed one-hour timer to both the gym lighting and air-conditioning system which is expected to reduce energy consumption in the building.

A duress system will be installed which will be monitored off-site through an alarm service provider. In the event of an emergency incident, this will allow for emergency services to respond and attend at the premises.

Council is also in the process of replacing the laserlite sheeting in the roof to improve the amount of natural light within the common area.

Council will advise once the new operator is in place and the Centre is ready to re-open.
