Pool fight gathers pace

By MELISSA MEEHAN

THE fight to save Olinda’s pool continues.
The Save the Olinda Pool Committee held a community meeting on Thursday night to update residents on the state of play.
Committee member John Faull said the meeting allowed a report on what the Yarra Ranges Council was planning and spoke to residents about their concerns.
“The council plans to meet with a number of community groups and stakeholders and see what they want for the future,” Mr Faull said.
“That’s all well and good for the future, but short term we are pushing to save the pool and have it open as it was by this summer,” he said.
Mr Faull said with every meeting, more and more members of the community were taking part in the fight to save the pool.
