Council finalises site for new aquatic centre
A new site near Braeside has been selected by Kingston Council to host a new leisure and aquatic centre.
The new facility will be built on Governor Road, near Jack Grut Reserve in Mordialloc, a site that was finalised following consideration of 180 locations across southern and central Kingston. Each site was independently assessed, with community feedback taken into account before the final decision was made, according to Mayor of Kingston Steve Staikos.
Staikos said the major project is a significant one for the community’s wellbeing and health, now and into the future, adding:
The mayor said its location in the city centre will make it easily accessible for people of all ages who will be able to take part in swimming classes, workout in the gym or undertake rehabilitation and warm water exercise.
Flyer printing campaigns have often helped spread the word about new community facilities such as the new leisure and aquatic centre.
Soon to embark on the project’s design stage, the council encourages community members to offer ongoing feedback about what is important, and how they want it to feel, look and function – important information that will help in shaping the new centre and delivering a facility that meets local needs for many years to come.
