Meet the team... well, most of them! 🏊‍♂️✨

These are the friendly faces looking after you at Holland Park Pool this season.

The team popped in for a few hours to put the final touches on our setup, run through our routines, test out some delicious new menu items, and enjoy a sneaky swim to check the water!

Most of our team will be in training over the weekend to gain and refresh their Lifeguard certifications so we're 100% ready to keep everyone safe.

We can't wait to see you all poolside! ☀️💧

🔥 Bush Fire Danger Period starts TODAY

The NSW Rural Fire Service has declared the Bush Fire Danger Period will begin from 1 October 2026 across Bland and Temora.

Now is the time to prepare your property and make sure your household knows what to do if a bush fire threatens.

Simple steps can make a difference:
• Clear leaves and debris from gutters
• Remove flammable materials from around your home
• Make sure hoses can reach all sides of your property
• Review your bush fire survival plan

🚒 Fire permits are required during the Bush Fire Danger Period before lighting any fire, including for hazard reduction.

You must also notify your neighbours and local fire authorities at least 24 hours before lighting up, regardless of the time of year.
