read moreA project to install a heat pump in the 50-metre pool at the Coffs Harbour War Memorial Olympic Swimming Pool has been completed, with users expected to be able to experience a year round temperature of 27 degrees Celsius while the operator benefits from lower energy costs
Funded by the City of Coffs Harbour ($200,000) and a grant from the NSW Government’s Stronger Country Communities Fund ($797,308), the 50-metre pool project follows the installation of heat pump in the facilities 25-metre pool late last year.
The upgrade will result in an extended swimming season at the War Memorial facility, which will flow through to programs such as learn-to-swim, squad training, therapy sessions and aqua fitness.
Expanded operations for the 50-metre pool is also expected to take the pressure off the indoor 25-metre pool in the traditional off-season.
Initiated in 2021 following a Council resolution, the project has seen the upgrade of mains power to support the heating system of the 50-metre pool which included a new sub-station and associated easement update.
Works were undertaken by Magen Eco Energy.
Commenting on the outcome, City of Coffs Harbour Mayor, Paul Amos stated “pool users, whether they be recreational or competitive, will be delighted by this outcome.
“We enjoy an unenviable climate across the seasons, and this heating project will deliver greater amenity for the Olympic pool even in the depths of winter.”
