The lease for the facility is currently held by Whitepool Pty Ltd and ends on April 18.
Narrandera Shire Council was required to open the tender process for operations of the pool, with Whitepool the only submission received.
The organisation will now have its lease extended at the facility to April 18, 2022.
The Barellan community has welcomed the news, according to council.
In the last financial year new shade structures were installed at the facility and were funded by council, adding to the summer safety and fun.
The Barellan Swim Club and a Sport and Recreation grant also chipped in for the project.
“Council also installed marine carpet and upgraded the seating,” a statement from council said.
“The blue shade sail, over the toddler pool was replaced this season after it was damaged beyond repair.
“Visitors have given positive feedback about the additional shade and that the pool has a resort feel.
Barellan is attracting visitors from outside the area, including around Griffith, who come to enjoy the outdoor facility.”
