$2 entry ‘costs Council’

Tuesday, 13th December, 2011

A decision to cap entry fees to the city’s new aquatic centre at $2 could see City Council suffer an $84,000 budget blowout.

Council resolved to leave the pool’s entry fee at $2 during its ordinary monthly meeting in June, despite budgeting for an increased fee when planning the new centre.

It was originally planned to that entry would be $4 per person for casual pool users, while a range of concessions would be available for families and regular users that would see the cost of entry rise to around $3 on average.
