北悉尼奥运游泳池在耗资1.22亿澳元的翻新工程完成后仅运营一周,因电力供应问题被迫临时关闭[1]。北悉尼议会于周五早上宣布该设施已关闭,工作人员于周四下午发现室内游泳池的电力供应出现故障,随后清空游泳池并疏散整个综合体[1]。
该综合体的游泳池、健身房、游泳课程和健身课程全部暂停运营[1]。议会表示承包商和技术专家正整夜工作以解决问题,但目前无法确定关闭的具体时长[1]。北悉尼市长Zoe Baker表示关闭令人遗憾,她指出在冬季开放是为在夏季旺季前"解决问题"[1]。这次故障发生在设施对外开放的周末吸引超过10,000名访客之后[1]。
该游泳池自2021年2月关闭翻新,原定于2022年11月重新开放,初始预算为5,800万澳元[1]。
North Sydney Olympic Pool has temporarily shut down following a power supply failure, merely one week after reopening following a $122 million renovation project [1]. The facility was closed on Friday morning after staff discovered an electrical fault affecting the indoor pool on Thursday afternoon, prompting the evacuation of the entire complex and the draining of the pool [1]. All operations—including the swimming pool, gymnasium, swimming lessons, and fitness classes—have been suspended [1].
The North Sydney Council stated that contractors and technical specialists worked overnight to resolve the issue, though the timeframe for reopening remains unclear [1]. The unexpected closure comes after the facility attracted over 10,000 visitors during its opening weekend [1]. Mayor Zoe Baker expressed regret over the shutdown, explaining that the winter opening had been intended to address problems before the summer peak season [1].
The pool underwent a five-year renovation cycle, having closed in February 2021 with an original scheduled reopening of November 2022 and an initial budget of $58 million [1]. The project ultimately cost $122 million [1].
