Mirboo North pool has the most beautiful setting of all the outdoor pools with ample grassy and shaded areas, tree ferns, permanent BBQ facilities and enough room to set up volley ball or cricket playing fields. It would be a major blow to the community to close this pool down, as was the decision to only open the pool if the forecast was 26 degrees or over.

The pool at Mirboo Nth has been an oasis and a haven of community summer gatherings for many years catering to an appreciative, hardworking, happy community. The social benefits to this town are sublime. Several generations of locals and tourists carry wonderful memories of times spent here. Of summer picnics, family gatherings, children learning to swim, school swimming carnivals.... Sometimes funding decisions need to be based on a 'social happiness factor' that transcends other considerations.

This is an area within the community which should be expanded on not decreased in services, with little to no where for Teens and young people to go, a Pool is a safe and secure environment for youth and young adults to hang out and have fun !!
Swimming Pools are often a great asset to small communities, Especially within the tourism industry.
Perhaps more focus should be on Out door pools being available all year round not just in summer, I am sure there would be plenty of community people who would utilise these pools if heated during the cooler times of the year. This is an area within the community which appears to have lost focus on its importance to small communities. Instead of the shire focussing on running costs it would be better served to focus on why the community as a whole appears to have diminished its use of these services

This potential pool closure displays that this council is one of the many in Australia that have lost their way that they should be providing services to the community rather than trying to run them as a business. This is an example of a council building a Pool facility that is running at a loss and then trying to close outlying pools to try and force people to go there too boost its income.
Since the advent of CEO's in councils the situation on community facilities are getting worse and worse.

The Mirboo North pool is a fundamentally essential local facility and more than anything, it's neglect and potential closure is a reflection of the poor performance of council. It has clearly failed to adequately lobby for funding and plan it's maintenance and capex. This is local government at it's detached and short sighted worst. The facility has sustained the children of this town for decades. shameful.

I believe the pool should be kept open because it is a part of Mirboo North's history and because lots of people in the community use it for many separate purposes such as teaching their young children how to swim, holding carnivals and meeting up with friends and family.

Going to the Mirboo North pool is one of the happiest memories of my childhood. You ask anyone who grew up in MN about what they remember about the place, and I guarantee they mention the pool. It's a cultural touchstone. I know it is tough for council to make these types of funding decisions, but it's more than just current attendance, it's about community and history. The council needs to consider the historical importance of the pool, and its value to the wider South Gippsland community.

Just because Leongatha is where our Shire office is located doesn't mean all public facilities should be located in that town nor their development, operation and upkeep be given priroty over other towns whose community are equally active. Mirboo North's community is vibrant, proud and has a long standing reputation for self-help.
This decision borders on being an insult to the Mirboo North Community.

I can still remember the days when it was to hot to work on the farm. We would milk the cows in the morning, do all the other chores, then spend the rest of the day at the Mirboo North pool. Then we would go home and milk the cows at night. It would be a great pity for this icon to be left to deteriorate and just become a memory.

The swimming pool is the social centre of Mirboo North in summer, especially for school age children. It has enabled swimming training for all (safety aspect) without reliance on someone to drive to another town. It is renowned throughout Gippsland for scenic setting with shade and sloped banks for easy viewing. Pools are expensive but vital to rural communities. Sport is a major activity. Shire amalgamations should not cause centralisation of facilities and deprivation to small communities.

The pool at Mirboo North is a long standing community asset which is used by large numbers of locals.
It is an important central facility much loved by the local community.
It should be supported as should all existing aquatic facilities in the Shire.

I grew up next to the Mirboo North Swimming Pool, I lived there as a child, worked there as an adult and have seen the benefits it offers the whole community and those surrounding it. The Shire Council has to accept the resonsibility of the amalgamated shires and not just look after its own doorstep. They do not have the right to choose one pool over another, all are vital. Funding should be shared equally between the pools and all towns encouraged to raise extra funds needed. Go MNth!

As a resident of Mirboo North I strongly hope that South Gippsland Shire will remember us here at Mirboo North, we have had many a wonderful day at our pool both with school and holidays and hope to have many more!
We never travel to Leongatha at all to go to the pool, people travel from far away to use our pool and if it was updated after all these years of use many a family could enjoy it more with better facilities, the goverment make the laws so that you can follow it to the letter
