Outdoor Swimming Pools
2022-2023 Outdoor Pool Season
The Outdoor Pool season will run from Saturday 3 December 2022 to Monday 13 March 2023.
The pools will be open every day other than Christmas Day and on days where the forecasted temperature is less than 25 degrees.
Changes to the 2022-2023 Outdoor Pool Season
Due to the closure of the Maryborough Outdoor Pool Council has introduced a number of changes to help make sure you can still stay cool this summer, including:
- Entry into the Dunolly and Talbot Swimming Pools will be FREE for everyone.
- The Maryborough Sports and Leisure Centre will extend its opening hours and remain open until 7pm on weekends and public holidays. Weekday opening hours will remain as normal.
- Plus, the Maryborough Sports and Leisure Centre will also offer reduced fees for casual entry during the outdoor pool season. Season passes will remain as normal.
- Thanks to the Victorian Government’s FReeZa program, free single-entry pool passes to the Maryborough Sports and Leisure Centre indoor pool will be provided to youth under the ages of 25.

Maryborough Outdoor Pool Closed
A report on the future of the heritage-listed Maryborough 50 metre pool was endorsed by Council at the July Council Meeting (26/07/2022).
Council will continue to advocate to State and Federal Governments for funding to rebuild the Maryborough 50 metre outdoor pool, with the pool to close until funding can be secured.
The decision comes after a further assessment of the pool identified the condition of the pool has declined since the previous assessment in April 2021 with the pool having reached the ‘end of life’ stage and cannot be re-opened until the pool is demolished and rebuilt.
Using the $2 million in Victorian Government funding announced in 2020 on the 50 metre pool would be a short-term patch job and would not address the increasingly declining integrity of the pool shell.
Council will work with Heritage Victoria to use the $2 million in funding to upgrade the octagonal pool, the plant room and the main entrance building – which will contribute to preserving this significant heritage complex.
