*Extended* Expression of Interest: Karoonda Swimming Pool Complex Strategic Review Committee
Following a recent review of Council’s past seasonal operating model of the Karoonda Swimming Pool Complex (the Pool), Council identified that some current practices, session time access and services may no longer reflect the needs and wants of the community.
To address this and reduce future costs while improving access and session options, Council resolved at a Special Meeting on 26 November 2024 to establish the ‘Karoonda Swimming Pool Complex Strategic Review Committee’ (the Committee) under section 41 of the Local Government Act 1999.
The Committee will conduct a ‘community needs analysis’ and assist Council with a strategic review of the operational model of the pool (while under Council’s seasonal care and control).
Council invites expressions of interest (EOI) from parties interested in being appointed to the Committee.

- Have a strong connection to either the District Council of Karoonda East Murray area and/or experience with the Karoonda Area School Swimming Pool. This could include using the pool or supporting its activities. (Mandatory).
