Port Stephens aquatic centres closure for maintenance Port Stephens LGA by News Of The Area - Modern Media - June 28, 2016 PORT Stephens’ Aquatic Centres will undergo essential maintenance works PORT Stephens’ Aquatic Centres will undergo essential maintenance works over the colder months to ensure the facilities are operating at optimum levels when crowds dive into the summer season. Lakeside, Tilligerry and Tomaree Aquatic centres will be closed at various times during June, July and August 16 in a staggered schedule to ensure at least one facility is available to accommodate year-round pool users. The outdoor pool at Lakeside is first in line and will be closed from Monday 27 June 16, until Sunday 24 July 16. Ian Crawford, Council’s Contract and Services Coordinator, said while the works at all three centres are routine, people would notice the activity at Lakeside. “The aquatic centres at Port Stephens are well-used and as with any asset, they require a little TLC to keep them at the standard our community expects,” he said.
