Aquatic centres support the development of social connections and play a critical role in the education around water safety. They offer an opportunity for residents to stay fit and keep healthy.
However, the development of housing growth in Wyndham has outpaced the development of aquatic and sports infrastructure.
Analysis conducted by Infrastructure Victoria found Wyndham has one Aquatic and Recreation Centre (ARC) for approximately 150,000 people, compared to the City of Greater Geelong which has one ARC for approximately 75,000 people.
The development of the proposed Riverdale Aquatic Centre will be a significant partnership and will support the needs of Wyndham’s growing population – increasing community wellbeing, strengthening community connections and improving community safety. At this election, our community needs a commitment to a new aquatic centre.
