It is with profound sadness that MacDonnell Regional Council addresses the tragedy that occurred at the Kintore pool on December 2, 2020, where a precious young life was lost. The death of any child is a heart-wrenching tragedy, and our hearts go out to the grieving family and the entire Kintore community.
The child was participating in an Early Learning Program operated by the Council. This devastating event has deeply affected all of us, and we express our sincerest condolences to the family, and everyone touched by this loss.
A coronial inquest has been announced for July 29, 2024. We are committed to full transparency throughout this process. The Council will continue to keep the community informed about the progress of the investigations. Updates will be provided through our official website.
