Following the first reported human case of Murray Valley Encephalitis (MVE) in Western Australia this season, the WA Department of Health is reminding residents and travellers in the Kimberley and Pilbara regions to take extra precautions against mosquito bites. With the flooding in the East Pilbara due to ex-Cyclone Zelia, there will be an increased risk of mosquito breeding in the floodwaters. While the exposure site is in the East Kimberley, significant Flavivirus activity has been observed across both the Kimberley and Pilbara.

Due to post-cyclone flooding, the pool will be closed this week from the 17/ 02/2025. The flooding is preventing our staff from accessing Marble Bar to open the facility. We apologise for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding during this time. Please note, unfortunately, this Saturday’s Rottnest Swim on 22nd of February MARBLE BAR EVENT ONLY has been cancelled due to the pool closure.

TROPICAL CYCLONE ZELIA UPDATE Please refer to Emergency WA - Alerts and Warnings for the most up to date alerts and warnings. Tropical Cyclone Zelia is expected to cross the coast approximately in the area between Port Hedland and Karratha as a Category 5 system on Friday 14 February and then track south. It is expected to reduce in intensity as it moves inland but will still bring with it the potential for strong winds, heavy rainfall and flooding which means some roads will be closed.

In the interest of public safety, Cape Keraudren has been evacuated and will remain closed until it is safe to reopen. Stay informed with the latest updates on the current conditions.

Due to the inclement weather forecast associated with the approaching Cyclone Zelia, the Marble Bar Pool will be closed starting today, 12 February, until further notice. Your safety is our priority. We will provide updates on the reopening of the pool once weather conditions improve. Please stay safe and take necessary precautions! For up-to-date weather alerts, download the Emergency WA app or visit Emergency WA - Alerts and Warnings. Thank you for your understanding.
