NSC repairs will take weeks

Repairing a gym after a fire at the National Sport Centre will take weeks, according to the Department of Education, Sport and Culture.

The men's changing area was damaged last week when a blaze broke out at the NSC - the department says it'll need to work on ceiling tiles, air conditioning units and gym equipment. 

The department says it may take around three weeks to bring the area back up to standard.

The NSC says it's arranging to give members, credits or extensions while the facility is closed.
