Big projects don’t happen without a lot of local know how. The Oasis Aquatic and Wellbeing Centre is taking shape thanks to hundreds of people – many from right here in Greater Dandenong – pitching in with skills, materials and passion.
Here are just some of the local businesses helping bring the centre to life ahead of its opening in 2027.
From their base in Dandenong South, ATCO Structures is providing temporary facilities for the 200 plus workers building the centre. Think site offices, bathrooms and kitchens – plus temporary amenities for
the Dandenong Hockey Club while the new pavilion is built. ATCO’s work has created opportunities for more than 50 local suppliers and subcontractors, from cabinet makers and builders to transport operators.
Emily Judd from ATCO’s Dandenong South office says the project feels personal.
“It’s exciting to be part of something so significant in our own backyard,” Ms Judd said.
“So many local businesses are proud to be contributing to the Dandenong Wellbeing Centre, and it’s rewarding to know we’re helping create a lasting community asset.”
Australian Precast Ptd Ltd, also based in Dandenong South, is supplying high quality precast concrete panels that form a key part of the building’s structure and finish. Made offsite and delivered ready to install, the panels have kept the build of the Dandenong Wellbeing Centre moving and are ensuring a strong, consistent result.
“Being part of the Dandenong Wellbeing Centre is something our team is really proud of,” an Australian Precast spokesperson said.
“Knowing that our precast panels will support a building focused on health, wellbeing and community connection makes the work especially meaningful for everyone involved.”
Shaping the look and weather protection of the centre, Askin Performance Panels based in Dandenong South is providing the roof and wall cladding that will keep the building cool in summer, warm in winter and welcoming year-round.
“Contributing to once in a generation projects like the Dandenong Wellbeing Centre show the value of local experience and Australian made products,” an Askin Performance Panels spokesperson said.
“It’s great to be part of creating a space that the community will enjoy for generations to come.”
Backing local suppliers like ATCO, AusCast and Askin supports local jobs, skills and pride – and helps deliver a centre made for, and by, our community.
