IS IT FAIR that a single parent family of 2 children is charged the entry fee of $13.50, when a two parent family of 2 is charge an extra 50 cents entry fee How about if that single parent whom is studying fulltime or a pensioner having to pay the same entry fee... is that fair What about any elderly pension card holder or student whom is expected to pay the same entry fee as an 2 parent income earning family... You do the maths. If there are two parents and three children then all they have to pay is $16.00 entry fee (works out to be $3.20 per head). So why are the rest of us being disadvantaged by this whole deal. All, we are asking is for a casual concession entry fee, for pensioners and students and an all day pass out for all. The return of the BBQ would also be kindly apprieciated as well. Everyone knows that the Tweed Regional aquatic centre was closed down and refurbished. Well now that it has re opened many residents and visitors will not be able to afford to go because of the price jump in entry fees. But this is not the only changes that have come about due to the new regional aquatic centre. There are now limitations to the usage of the diving boards and the BBQ area has disappeared. The waterslide still exists but its time slots are now rotated between the diving boards. But worst of all is the entry fee of $4.50 for all above the age of 3 years old. There is no casual concession fee, and it is not for all day but per visit. So if you come in for an hour and leave and want to return a little later on you need to pay the entry fee again. Well there have been a lot of changes since the old pricing structure for not only the individual but for the schools and private coaches and swim schools. It seems that the centre is monopolising on the services thus creating limitations to the community. Its a service that they are providing but it is being run as a profit making business- profit for whom We have the right to say that this is wrong and changes need to be made, have your say today so that we can all have the opportunity to swim in our community pool together.
