Council pools

Queensland Government Companion Card

All Council pools honour the Queensland Government Companion Card, allowing free entry for anyone accompanying a person with a disability who requires attendant care support.

Water safety

As the weather warms up and more people head to pools to cool down, it's important to keep water safety front of mind. Be alert, supervise your children around water at all times, learn cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and follow the pool's conditions of entry.

Council endorses the Royal Life Saving Society's Keep Watch program which aims to prevent children drowning.
