Gireesh and Mahadeva Naika [‘On 3-regular partitions in 3-colors’, Indian J. Pure Appl. Math. 50 (2019), 137–148] proved an infinite family of congruences modulo powers of 3 for the function
$p_{\{3,3\}}(n)$, the number of 3-regular partitions in three colours. In this paper, using elementary generating function manipulations and classical techniques, we significantly extend the list of proven arithmetic properties satisfied by
$p_{\{3,3\}}(n).$
