Upgrading Cardinia Life

Cardinia Shire’s premier aquatic and leisure facility, Cardinia Life, could undergo a future redevelopment.

The council is proposed to upgrade Cardinia Life so its facilities, programs and services meet the needs of the current and future community, due to capacity of the venue being reached.

Feedback is being sought to help inform the redevelopment planning- how people currently use Cardinia Life, what they love about the centre and what they would like to see in the future.

Constructed in 2006, Cardinia Life includes a stadium, indoor pools, health club, multi-purpose program rooms and change rooms, kiosk and retail space and a crèche.

Cardinia Shire is experiencing a growth in population and will continue to experience a significant population growth with a forecast increase of 74,054 people, this is more than 58 per cent, between now and 2041.

To have your say, fill out a survey at cardinia.vic.gov.au/haveyoursay, provide feedback by email recreation@cardinia.vic.gov.au, phone 1300 787 624 or attend a drop-in session at Cockatoo Market Saturday 2 April, 10-11.30am, Kooweerup Shopping Centre, Saturday 2 April, 12.30-2.00pm or Cardinia Life, Wednesday 13 April, 1.30pm-3.30pm.

Register to attend one of the focus groups to hear about the project and have an in-depth conversation about the redevelopment at cardinia.vic.gov.au/haveyoursay.

Feedback open until Sunday 15 May.
