AFTER acknowledging the current system of operating pools in the Maleny and Mooloolah is broken, Member for Glass House, Andrew Powell MP, met with the Minister for Education in Parliament last week to discuss options.
“The meeting was very positive. The Minister shared several different models operating in various councils around the state – some of them extremely exciting!” Mr Powell said.
“The Education Department will be providing me more detail and I, in turn, want to discuss these options with the Sunshine Coast Regional Council.
“The simple message is, the Education Department is very receptive to exploring all options to ensure these pools reopen to the community and stay open.”
“I’ll provide more information once I’ve spoken to the Council,” concluded Mr Powell.
Both Maleny and Mooloolah Valley pools are unable to open to the public this summer because the pool committees, through no fault of their own, have been unable to secure managers of the facilities.
