Heard on ABC #Canberra radio news just now that #SaveBigSplash #JamisonPool to reopen 1 November. Government expects owners to lodge application to demolish water slides. #Belconnen

My view: #ACTGovernment has been chicken on this and also kept the community mainly in the dark. Questions: 1) what’s Big Splash without slides; 2) are we just relying on yet more consequence-free promises to open?

ABC 666 #Canberra breakfast saying good unnamed sources have it that the #ACTGovernment intends to take back operation of public pools.

(This is news. Please no cynical comments in reply - however feel free to make your own post.)

#Belconnen No News

With #JamisonPool due to reopen "mid-November" I can report today that the number of Olympic sized swimming pools of water - that standard measure - is zero.

No surprise given the track record - the lease-holder keeps giving us the runaround. #ACTGovernment needs to act.
