Consultation has concluded
As part of our ongoing commitment to make our City a thriving and attractive place to live, work and visit, Council has developed a draft strategic plan for the future of the Canterbury-Bankstown Leisure and Aquatic Centres.
Like most areas in Sydney, our leisure and aquatic centres were built in the 1960s and are nearing the end of their life cycle. Our residents are now looking for contemporary facilities that offer a broader range of activities to choose from.
The draft Leisure and Aquatic Strategic Plan was developed with extensive consultation with the local community and also considered the proximity of other facilities outside Canterbury-Bankstown’s boundaries.
We are proposing to operate five leisure and aquatic facilities. This plan will guide the upgrading of existing facilities and services and the establishment of new centres over the next 10 years, to meet the growing needs of our local community.
Council collected feedback up to 12 March 2019.
