Cardinia Shire’s new aquatic and recreation centre takes shape in Pakenham.Paul Dunlop
RESIDENTS can make a close inspection of the new aquatic and recreation centre in Pakenham on Sunday, 11 September.
A major project for Cardinia Shire Council, the multimillion centre is taking shape at the Toomuc Reserve.
Bookings are essential for the guided tour of the construction site with the project architect.
Project group spokeswoman Councillor Leonora Cox said construction was progressing well, with visitors now able to gain a real appreciation of the look and feel of the centre.
“The striking, curved design of the centre has attracted a lot of attention, but from the road it’s hard to appreciate the size and quality of the three pools, gymnasium and program rooms that are taking shape inside,” she said.
“This is an excellent opportunity for residents to get a firsthand look at the many facilities that will be theirs to enjoy when the centre opens early next year.”
To ensure visitor safety on the construction site, tour numbers are strictly limited. Tours will take place on the halfhour between 10am 3.30pm, and visitors should book early on 5945 4222 to ensure they do not miss out. Sturdy footwear must also be worn.
