Buloke Shire
Council owns and operates seven outdoor aquatic facilities which provide
swimming opportunities throughout the Buloke community. Each facility offers to
the community a main pool, toddler/baby pool, change/shower facilities,
poolside seating and shade options. These swimming pools provide residents of
all ages the opportunity to enjoy social contact, participate in recreational
activities whilst promoting water safety.
The 2021-22 season will commence 20 November 2021.
COVID-19
Our community might
notice a few changes to our aquatic facilities due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
To keep in line
with DHHS guidelines and current restrictions in place, all patrons are asked
to observe the following COVID-19 guidelines:
- Ensure 1.5 metres social distancing while in the
pool and outside of the pool
- Patrons are encouraged to sanitise their hands upon
entry at the sanitising stations in each pool, and check-in using the Service
Victoria QR code
- Our toilets, showers and change rooms will be open
to our patrons, but to assist us with keeping the facility appropriately
sanitised, we request pool patrons to minimise use of these facilities where
possible.
Pool Hire
Our pools will again be available for out-of-hours
hire.
Pool hire bookings will not be confirmed with Council until
pool hirers satisfy the requirements and supply associated documentation as
outlined in the agreement. All
applications for bookings must be made to Council at least 21 days in
advance of your planned activity.
As our pool hire increases in popularity, we cannot
guarantee your booking if your request is made less than 21 days from your
intended activity.
Please be sure to read the Pool Hire Guide and Pool Hire Request Form carefully
to ensure you have included all relevant documentation before submitting your
booking request.
Additional forms to assist with your hire
application are:

Risk Assessment and Management Plan
All booking forms
and associated documents should be sent to buloke@buloke.vic.gov.au and marked
attention to Team Leader Pool Operations.
