    Yarra City Council Says...

    A change in year-end reporting in 2016/17 resulted in some 2016/17 expenditure items being carried over into 2017/18. The impact of this was a reduction in the cost per visit in 2016/17 and inflation of the 2017/18 result.

    Yarra City Council Says...

    A number of pools were closed for maintenance and refurbishment works during 2017/18 reducing the availability to the public and impacting on the total number of visitations in 2017/18. Considering the slight drop in 2017/18 this still continues to be a strong result and reflects significantly higher than average utilisation compared to the all Council's average result in 2016/17.
