South West Sports Centre to reopen for limited services on Monday

After being closed for almost six weeks, the South West Sports Centre and Bunbury Public Libraries will reopen on Monday, with a few changes to operations and extra safety measures in place.

While the gym will remain closed, group fitness classes will be back on schedule following social distancing guidelines and aquatic facilities are also set to open once the WA Department of Health has approved water samples.

City staff will make contact with swimming clubs this week, but the swim school program will remain on pause.

The stadium, creche, café, meeting rooms, spa, sauna and steam room will all remain closed and membership fees will be on hold, with those wishing to use the pool or attend a group fitness class paying casual fees.

Toilets will be available, however change rooms will be closed.

People wishing to browse, borrow and return books will be able to do so from Monday, with the Bunbury City Library and Withers Community Library taking bookings for 45 minute time slots.

Complying with social distancing guidelines, a maximum of 20 people will be allowed in the Bunbury library and five in the Withers library at any one time.

Computer usage and room bookings will not be available.

Both the SWSC and libraries will continue their online services and anyone using the services in person will need to provide their contact details to staff for contact tracing purposes.
