The disused and now-derelict Big Splash aquatic facility has been a topical issue, and this motion, brought forward by ACT Greens MLA Jo Clay, called on the Government to address problems at the site with a view to reopening it.
This included calling on the Government to ensure Big Splash owners comply with their Crown lease requirements, outlining steps to enable Big Splash to open by next summer, and keeping the community updated on refurbishment progress.
Thomas supported the motion, noting the need for the Government to apply for its fair share of federal funding to ensure Canberra has sufficient public pools. The motion passed unanimously.
