I thank the
honourable member for some notice of the question.
(1) Based on an
estimated 300 children participating in the program, the total cost was
estimated at $50 000. This takes into
account the varying pool entry costs in each local government authority. To
date, 240 children have accessed a regional pool season pass.
(2) The pilot
program commenced on 15 February 2024. The majority of local government
authorities are ending the program in April 2024, with a further five
concluding in mid-May 2024. This is aligned to specific pool opening periods.
