Poll: Should Naenae Pool be rebuilt?
The $68 million budget to rebuild Lower Hutt's earthquake-prone Naenae pool is a “limit” not a “target”, according to the council.
The pool was closed in April 2019 after engineering reports gave it an overall rating of less than 34 per cent of the New Building Standard.
At the time, the council estimated the construction of a new pool would cost about $40m. In 2020, that figure was increased to $54m. Then, last week, the council released the latest projections, which put the cost of the project at up to $68m.
Counciilors this week agreed to rebuild it but have set a limit of $68m.
Cr Brady Dyer questioned whether the council should ask the public for their views on demolishing the pool and turning the site into a reserve.
