This work will take place as a priority over the next few months. Once complete, the ACT Government will announce the timeframes for the pool closure and the next steps in ensuring long term access to hydrotherapy services for the ACT community. We will ensure that the process going forward engages pool users proactively and constructively, based on a shared understanding of the issues and with a primary focus on their needs.

Thank you for the opportunity to raise this matter.
