Carnes Hill Aquatic and Recreational Centre

Liverpool is one of the fastest growing local government areas in new South Wales. Over the next 10 years, Liverpool will experience further transformative change in the areas of economic development, population growth, infrastructure development and the social make-up. It will see the construction of the new Western Sydney Airport, a new Liverpool CBD Civic Place, ongoing upgrades to Council’s parks and social infrastructure in established areas as well as the planning and establishment of new residential suburbs.

As part of the recently adopted Aquatic Leisure Centre Provision Implementation and Priority Plan , Liverpool City Council has demonstrated high demand for aquatic services in Carnes Hill. The plan focused on a diverse array of leisure opportunities such as aquatic, fitness, and wellness activities to improve the physical, mental, and social wellness of the community.

How was the design developed?

The design was developed in close collaboration with the community, to ensure we created a plan that responds to our community today and well into the future. You can view our full Community Consultation Report in our documents above.

We are currently in the final stage of community consultation, which is an important opportunity for you to share with us what we may have missed in designing this precinct, and help define what the community may still need.
