​Following a competitive tender process conducted by Lockyer Valley Regional Council, BlueFit has not been selected to continue managing the Lockyer Valley Sports & Aquatic Centre and Laidley Pool.
Our management of the Centre will conclude on 30th November 2026, with Just Lifestyle Centres commencing as the new operator from 1st December 2026.
We are naturally disappointed by this outcome. Over our time at Lockyer Valley Sports & Aquatic Centre, our team has worked hard to deliver a safe, welcoming and community-focused facility, and we are proud of the role we have played in supporting the health and wellbeing of the local community.
Our immediate focus is on two priorities: ensuring a smooth transition for members and visitors and supporting our employees through this period of change.
What this Means for You
The Lockyer Valley Sports & Aquatic Centre will remain open and operating as normal under BlueFit management until 30th November 2026. All programs, swimming lessons, memberships and services will continue as usual during this time.
We are working with Lockyer Valley Regional Council and Just Lifestyle Centres to support a smooth transition. Further information regarding memberships, direct debits and program continuity will be shared as it becomes available.
If you have any questions in the meantime, please speak with a member of our team at the Centre or contact us via email at gatton@bluefit.com.au
We sincerely thank our team, members and the broader Lockyer Valley community for their support and contribution during our time at the Centre.
Kind regards, Lockyer Valley Regional Council
