(4) What is the expected expenditure on maintenance and operations of the COP facility over the next forward period.
(5) What measures have been put in place to address issues of night time COP user’s safety.
Ms Berry: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
1) Leaks continue to occur at the COP despite numerous attempts to repair them over the past five years. Each time a leak has been repaired a new leak arises, which is largely attributed to the age of the infrastructure.
ACT Property Group (ACTPG) is currently undertaking a temporary repair to ensure the dive pool is operational for the start of the summer season in November 2019.
2) In 2018-19, the leaks averaged approximately 50kL/day (increasing in summer and reducing in winter) costing the Territory $115,000 in associated utility costs. The most recent leak (identified at the end of the 2018-19 summer season) was in the dive pool, with up to 50kL of water being lost per day from the failed expansion joints. ACTPG is currently carrying out a temporary repair to ensure the dive pool is operational for the summer season in November 2019.
3) ACTPG does not track the individual areas of repairs and maintenance. The general maintenance is carried out by the operator as part of their management contract. ACTPG does not manage the car park adjacent to COP therefore there is no expenditure on the car park. Expenditure on COP repairs and maintenance over last five years:
