New boilers are on the way for Kyneton Pool
New boilers are on the way for Kyneton Pool

Last updated on 21 June 2023

Kyneton Toyota Sports and Aquatics Centre (KTSAC) will soon benefit from more reliable and consistent pool temperatures, with a temporary closure required in late June to facilitate upgrades.

The new boiler installation will replace the existing system, which has reached the end of its life. The timing of the replacement is strategic to ensure heating during the coldest months of the year and to minimise impacts on key programs such as Learn to Swim.

Council will optimise the temporary closure by also undertaking essential maintenance and painting. Key dates include:

Monday 26 June – Wednesday 28 June: Full centre closure. Thursday 29 June: Centre reopens, except for pools. Saturday 1 July: Pools reopen, returning to warmer pool temperatures. It will take some time to adjust the boiler following the changeover (this will potentially take up to a day).

KTSAC members will have access to Gisborne Aquatic Centre and Gisborne Fitness Centre during this temporary closure. Gisborne facilities are scheduled to close on Wednesday 28 June for staff training and scheduled maintenance. 24/7 access to Gisborne Fitness Centre is available throughout all closure periods for members with FOB access.

The investment in new gas boilers at KTSAC is an interim measure to maintain services with minimal disruption. A longer-term goal of transitioning from gas to electric heat pumps powered by carbon-zero electricity is outlined in Council’s Counting Down to Zero plan to target net-zero emissions by 30 June 2030.
