We are seeking your feedback on the preliminary concept plan for the Western Aquatic and Early Years Centre at Bruce Comben Reserve. This state-of-the-art aquatic and early years centre will provide a much-needed recreation space for the Hobsons Bay community and surrounding suburbs.

This project is a key pillar in the Hobsons Bay Aquatic Strategy, is consistent with the implementation of the Bruce Comben Reserve Master Plan, and will ensure a significant increase in the number of people who will access aquatic facilities at the western end of our city. The Western Aquatic and Early Years Centre will have a strong focus on providing for people living with a disability, particiularly those on the autism spectrum.

The preliminary concept plan includes an eight-lane 25m pool; learn to swim pool; aqua play splash pad, leisure water, and toddler pool; wellness centre with warm water pool, spa and sauna; gymnasium; change facilities; café with indoor and outdoor seating; offices; and carparking. The early years zone will accommodate three and four-year-old kindergarten, and maternal and child health services.

This is not the last chance to have your say on the design of the Western Aquatic and Early Years Centre. Your feedback at this stage will inform a more detailed design process that will be shared during another round of community consultation.
