Councillors were given an exciting look at the emerging Dandenong Wellbeing Centre during a project site tour last month.
The visit highlighted significant progress on the project and gave Councillors a view of the centre's impressive size.
The tour started in the newly formed pool halls, where pools have now been fully concreted, and several are already undergoing early-stage water testing. The pools are filled with water to check for leaks, and the water is re-used across several pools to save on wastage. These pools will soon support swimming lessons, rehabilitation programs, water-based fitness and family recreation for everyone.
Standing in the deep end of the 50 metres pool, Councillors looked back towards open spaces earmarked for health and wellness services, fitness areas, community rooms and the warm water pools.
Throughout the visit, Councillors expressed enthusiasm about the progress and the opportunities the new centre will bring to Dandenong.
Greater Dandenong Mayor, Councillor Sophie Tan said the tour provided a glimpse into the future.
“The progress on the Dandenong Wellbeing Centre is truly inspiring, and it was wonderful to see the vision coming to life during our tour,” Mayor Tan said.
“Standing in the deep end and looking back across the entire site, you can really feel the scale and ambition of this project.”
"This centre will be a major asset for our community – a place for health, wellbeing and connection. I know the community is eagerly anticipating its opening and so are we.”
