The main pool at the Bluewater Lagoon is expected to remain closed for several more days after glass was discovered in the water.
Initial investigations indicate this is a result of vandalism.

To ensure the safety of all patrons, specialist vacuum equipment and will be brought in to manually clean the pool.

While time-consuming, the process allows operators to methodically work across every surface and strategically focus on areas where glass may accumulate.

Although the main pool is closed, other parts of the venue – the upper lagoon, children’s pool and splashpad remain open.
Council apologises for the inconvenience and appreciates the community’s patience and understanding.
