SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE
Tuesday, October 24, 2023
MOTION NO.18
MOTION: Councillor P. Gogarty
That the Chief Executive outlines the remaining major timelines in relation to the Lucan pool, namely: The completion date for the footpath works; The likely date for members to meet with Aura Leisure; The likely date for a site inspection; The likely date for completion of works on the pool; 5) The likely date for commencement of internal fittings by Aura Leisure; and 6) The likely date for opening the pool to the public.
REPORT:
The contractor of Lucan Pool has advised that the footpath works should be completed by the end of October. If there is a change to this date the Elected Members will be notified.
Aura Leisure are proposing to meet with Lucan /Palmerstown/North Clondalkin ACM Members at 215pm on November 28th before the 3pm ACM meeting.
The Contractor has programmed completion for late December. This is with the possible exception of the multi-function pool as the movable pool floor has a 12 week manufacture lead time and will be complete in early 2024. Options are being explored with the contractor and the operator to allow opening of the rest of the complex in advance of the installation of the moveable floor.
A site inspection for the Members will be agreed with the contractor when nearing practical completion.
Aura Leisure are available to commence fit-out and are liaising with the Council, their design team and the contractor to determine the most suitable date for commencement. The Council will advise as soon as this date has been set and agreed with all parties.
Aura Leisure will commence the installation of the gym equipment and staff training as soon as the building is handed over. A facility is usually ready to open to the public within one month of full building handover and It is expected that this facility should be open early in the new year.
