Demolition of the site for Kingston’s new Aquatic and Leisure has been completed, with 99.5% of the materials to be recycled. This great result again delivers on our commitment to provide facilities that are more sustainable and environmentally sensitive than ever before.

Mayor Jenna Davey-Burns said that, together with our community, we are focused on becoming the most liveable and sustainable city in Victoria. “It’s absolutely essential that this project, our most significant ever, showcases that goal and sets the example for all others to follow,” Cr. Davey-Burns said.

“As leaders in a changing climate, we are fully committed to all our major projects being anchored in sustainability, and in line with that, our dedicated Community Reference Group and the broader community have been absolutely incredible in providing us with a clear and ambitious vision for the new centre.”

Along with the completion of the demolition, the planning application is underway, and we are delighted to unveil the early designs as well. Melaleuca Ward Councillor Tim Cochrane said that after extensive community consultation, we’re confident that the new centre will meet the needs of our community now and into the future.

“Projects with such a tangible benefit to the broader community don’t happen every day, and I’m so excited to see them come to fruition,” Cr. Cochrane said.
