Sauna refurbished as part of Churchill Pool works

A complete refurbishment of the sauna at the Churchill Monash Leisure Centre is being undertaken as part of the pool reinstatement works that are currently in progress.

Cr Bob Smith said the refurbishment of the sauna includes relining the walls and ceiling with new cedar timberwork, retiling the floors and installing new seating.

"The sauna at the leisure centre was out of action for quite a considerable period prior to the pool being closed. When the pool reopens, I think leisure centre patrons will be really happy to see that not only are they getting their indoor swimming pool back, but Council has used the opportunity provided through the part facility closure, to reinstate the sauna," Cr Smith said.

Latrobe City Mayor, Cr Darrell White said that overall, works at the Churchill Leisure Centre are progressing well with some sixty percent of the work now completed and a further twenty percent on the go. "Major jobs such as the roof and ceiling work and repair of the pool construction joint are now finished; and the underpinning work has been underway for a couple of weeks," Cr White said.

"Painting of the pool shell has now been completed with the pool sporting its newly painted black swimming lane lines and red aquatic sport markings.

"The pool concourse has now been fully reinstated and is about to be painted, while tiling repairs to the change rooms and general repairs to doors and brickwork are currently underway.

"The old air handling unit has been removed with the installation of the new unit imminent. The air handling unit provides warm air to the pool hall affecting the ambient room temperature which in turn influences the pool temperature," Cr White explained.

"At this stage we are confident the project will be completed on time and we should soon be in a position to name a date for the reopening of this important community facility," Cr White added
