South Waikato District Council has voted to keep Tīrau Pool open this summer, despite staff recommending a closure.
At an extraordinary meeting this week, elected members were informed that the Tīrau and Putāruru pools needed $535,000 of remedial works.
They were asked to choose one of the following options:
- Option One: Spend $525,300 on all the remedial actions recommended for both pools.
- Option Two: Fix the priority works for Tīrau, open the pool for the 2026-27 season and consult the community on its future.
- Option Three: Do no work on Tīrau, close it for the 2026-27 season, open the Putāruru pool and consult the community on Tīrau Pool’s future.
- Option Four: Do no work on Tīrau, close it for the 2026-27 season, open Putāruru and consult the community on the future of both pools.
