The council is pleased with more than 30 applications for staffing the Braidwood, Bungendore and Captains Flat pools over summer: interviews are in coming weeks. A survey and meetings have given excellent feedback on preferred opening hours. Ongoing rain has delayed maintenance works, but staff are optimistic works can be done in time.
