Mullewa pool entry fees remain free with Pilbara Resource Group partnership with City of Greater Geraldton

Swimming at Mullewa’s public pool will remain free for the third year in a row thanks to support from a Perth-based construction company. Pilbara Resource Group will partner with the City of Greater Geraldton to fund entry fees to the Doc Docherty Pool on Jose Street, allowing the community to swim for free, after recently taking over the lease for the former Patience Workers Camp in Mullewa. Now called the Swans Rest Accommodation Village, the facility has been upgraded to house up to 40 visiting truck drivers at a time as they travel between the C4 iron ore mine in Wiluna and the Port of Geraldton. City of Greater Geraldton Mayor Jerry Clune expressed his gratitude to Pilbara Resource Group for their generosity in enabling the pool to be enjoyed by the Mullewa community. “The Doc Docherty Pool is a cornerstone of life in the summertime for the residents of Mullewa,” he said. “Pilbara Resource Group’s generous funding will mean that people can access the facility free of charge for the third year running.” Pilbara Resource Group director Scott Dryland said the company was excited to support the town and the sponsorship embodied the company’s core value of community engagement. “This collaboration goes beyond financial assistance — it underscores our belief in building lasting relationships and actively participating in the community we call home,” he said. “We are excited about opportunities to make meaningful and sustained impact, aligning our corporate goals with the betterment of the community we proudly support.”
