From Monday 1 April, Monash Aquatic & Recreation Centre's 50m Pool will undergo painting works. Due to these works, the pool will be closed until Friday 7 June (inclusive). 

Oakleigh Recreation Centre (ORC) 50m Pool and Multi-Purpose Pool extended operating hours (other pools at Oakleigh Recreation Centre will close at end of business Sunday 31 March). 

ORC's 50m Pool was scheduled to remain open from Monday 1 April - Friday 7 June.  Unfortunately, due to an unexpected and significant plant room issue the ORC 50m was closed on Monday 20 May.  We are now working on completing the works on the 50m pool at the Monash Aquatic & Recreation Centre and exploring all options to get the pool open earlier than advertised.


UPDATE - Tuesday 29 May 2024
The filling of the 50m pool has been completed and heating and treatment of the water is currently under way. As part of the works official water testing will be completed to ensure compliance with public health and safety regulations. Water samples are booked to be collected on Friday 31 May. We expect to have the results of water testing by Wednesday 5 June. Successful water quality tests are required prior to reopening the pool.
 
We appreciate that the unexpected closure of the advertised alternative 50m pool at Oakleigh Recreation Centre is a significant inconvenience to some members. We will continue to explore opportunities to reopen the MARC 50m pool earlier than advertised and will calculate appropriate compensation for impacted members in due course. For multi-visit holders we will consider an extension to the expiry date of your pass to enable to utilise any remaining passes.

 

We apologise for any inconvenience and look forward to seeing you back in the pool soon!

LATEST UPDATE - Monday 3 June 2024

We are excited to announce that the MARC 50m Pool will be re-open as of Tuesday 4 June. We thank you for your patience and support while the pool underwent maintenance works.

We hope to see you enjoying the pool!

Please note, the pool will operate in line with winter hours.
