Today is R U OK? Day 💛

A simple conversation can make a big difference. Take a moment to check in with your mates, family, colleagues, or someone you haven't spoken to in a while.

Sometimes, asking "Are you OK?" is all it takes to help someone feel seen and supported.

🚫SMART GLASSES AT PUBLIC SWIMMING FACILITIES 🚫

With the rising interest and availability of smart glasses, which allows recording of people without their knowledge or consent, council is reminding the community these items are not permitted at public swimming facilities.

This rule applies to the Bluewater Lagoon, Pioneer Pool, Memorial Pool and the MARC.

Council will continue to work with venue operators Belgravia Leisure and DMR Leisure - Mackay Memorial Swimming Centre to ensure a safe environment for all patrons.

If you have concerns, please see staff at the location.

Warmer days are back!

Spring is here, temperatures are rising, and Bluewater Lagoon is the perfect place to spend your day. 🌴🏊

Cool off in the pools, relax with family and friends, then stop by the kiosk for a refreshing Peter's Ice Cream. From classic favourites to icy treats, we've got the perfect way to top off your visit. 🍦

See you at the Lagoon this spring!

Our lifeguards are trained to supervise the pool and respond in emergencies, but parents and carers play the most important role in keeping children safe around water.

When visiting our venue, stay close, stay engaged, and keep your focus on children in and around the water, at all times. By working together, we can help create a safer and more enjoyable aquatic experience for everyone.

Your supervision makes all the difference. Learn more via the Aquatic Supervision page on our website.
