North Sydney Pool Closes Again | Sydney News

North Sydney’s brand-new Olympic Pool, just reopened after a $122 million makeover, shut down again just one week later due to a major power failure — forcing swimmers out and halting all activities. Contractors are racing to fix the electrical issue, but no reopening date is set. Mayor Zoe Baker admits it’s frustrating, especially since the winter launch was meant to iron out kinks before summer. The facility, which faced five years of delays and cost overruns, now boasts a 50-meter outdoor pool, 25-meter indoor pool, splash pad, gym, cafe, and even underfloor heating and swimsuit dryers. Residents face a 52% rate hike over three years to fund the project and future maintenance — a steep price for a facility that’s already hit a major snag.
