The Corowa Aquatic Centre transitioned to its new service delivery model known as Tiered Supervision on Monday, October, 28.
Tiered Supervision means that the centre will adjust supervision of patrons at the centre depending on the number of patrons.
“During periods of low patronage, the centre will enter in Low Patronage Mode. There will be staff available within the centre to assist,” Federation Council General Manager, Adrian Butler said.
“There may not be a pool attendant actively watching swimmers in the water from pool deck at all times.
“During periods of increased patronage, supervision will be increased and pool attendants will be actively watching swimmers in the water from the pool deck.”
The Tiered Supervision model was endorsed by council at its November 2023 meeting following extensive community consultation.
Despite losses totalling nearly $1.5 million after just three years of operation, Federation Council is determined to turn around the Corowa Aquatic Centre's ailing finances with major changes to its service model.
A new “Tiered Supervision Model” aims to pull back the annual loss of the centre by almost $250,000 and will be implemented in the 2024/25 financial year.
