 It was disappointing that at its December meeting Manly Council rejected outright the idea of perusing a feasibility plan to have a Harbour Pool re-created in Manly Cove West. However the argument that "Maritime, who are the landowner, have totally rejected the plan" is completely inaccurate (See attached letter below) On May 3, Council received a letter from Roads & Maritime Services that not only set out what would need to be done as part of a feasibility plan for the idea but also stated "Roads and Maritime .... will consider any formal proposal from Manly Council to re-establish a boardwalk and pool". The new-look pool and boardwalk concept plan is an idea that has been well-researched by Good For Manly with a professionally designed eco-friendly pool, rather than the massive structures of the 'Wonder Pool' of days gone-by. We believe it is an idea that is worthy of proper investigation and consideration rather than a knee-jerk refusal. What do you think?

The original pool/boardwalk was the responsibility of Port Jackson and Manly Steamship Company.(later Brambles prior to the Askin Gov't taking over the Ferry operation in August 1974.Whilst I would love to see the return of the boardwalk for more than Heritage Reasons. I feel you have a Mayor who wants an upgraded Andrew Charlton pool at Fairlight that in the future will be a memorial in her name. Leave a Reply. |
