Maurie Kjar Aquatic Centre temperatures
Due to our pool temperatures are much lower than usual.
Further investigation is being carried out as it appears this shallow steam well, that provides heat for the Maurie Kjar Aquatic Centre, is being impacted by groundwater.
Effects of a high water table on a shallow steam well.
A high water table can increase cold groundwater infiltration into the well, diluting the geothermal fluid or reducing the temperature and pressure of the steam. This lowers the well’s efficiency and energy output. Excessive groundwater can flood the well, potentially quenching the stream reservoir in shallow geothermal systems.
Main pool: 14°C
Spa pool: 14°C
Please note: pool temperatures are updated weekdays only (excluding public holidays and weekends)
Maurie Kjar Aquatic Centre Upcoming Closure
Horizon Network needs to carry out replacement work with power poles and infrastructure which requires us to reluctantly shut the Maurie Kjar Aquatic Centre on Tuesday 22 July 2025 (weather permitting). Unfortunately, the work on the power infrastructure is urgent, and could not wait until the annual maintenance shut of the Maurie Kjar Aquatic Centre. Please note the annual shut will start 6 October 2025. We will be completing weather dependent work, so the reopening date will be confirmed closer to the time. We apologise for the inconvenience and thank our loyal pool complex patrons for their support.
