Pyrenees Shire Council has advised the community of an unexpected infrastructure problem at the Avoca Pool, discovered just ahead of the planned opening of the 2025–2026 season.

A specialist pool repair service has been brought in to assess the damage and determine what work is required to make the facility safe and operational.

As a result, the Avoca Pool will not open this weekend as scheduled. Council says it will continue to update the community on progress and any changes to the pool’s reopening timeline through its page.

They apologised for the inconvenience and thanked residents for their patience while the issue is investigated and addressed.

Avoca has announced their new U17.5 football coaching duo – Bulldogs legend Mark Blair and former AFL player Darren “DC” Cuthbertson! 💪

Coaching Announcement 📢

The AFNC is excited to announce our new U17.5 Football Coaching Duo - Mark Blair and Darren 'DC' Cuthbertson.

Mark is no stranger to the coaching scene at the Bulldogs, and DC also had a stint as an assistant coach a few of seasons ago, and we're thrilled to see him back!

DC played 32 AFL games and kicked 43 goals for the Melbourne Football Club during the early '90s, after playing his junior years with the Epping Football Club and later with the North Ballarat Football & Netball Club. His playing and coaching knowledge and experience will be invaluable to our up-and-coming Bulldogs.

Mark is a four-time premiership player with the AFNC and coached our littlest Bulldogs for many years, taking a number of teams through to have Grand Final appearances. He is a favourite among our youngsters, having coached many of them as Under 11.5s.

The Coaches are looking forward to getting our U17.5's together for some pre-season training before Christmas. Stay tuned for more details!
