A major new aquatics and leisure centre for Lilydale, extensions to the Monbulk Aquatic Centre and the Yarra Centre and a decade of pool works have been outlined in Council’s Draft Aquatic & Leisure Strategy.
This draft strategy has been released to the community for further feedback before it is officially endorsed by Council.
Yarra Ranges Mayor Jim Child said the draft strategy outlines the coming 10 years of works, maintenance and growth for each aquatics facility in the region.
“We’ve been eagerly anticipating an Aquatics Strategy for years – something that will outline the future of our pools and water play parks, provide recommendations for upgrades, and map out the road towards a Yarra Ranges that is more active and better serviced by its facilities.
“This plan has been informed by extensive feedback from our community, detailed catchment mapping, benchmarking against sporting facility trends, and operating performance,” he said.
