    Will the gym be a 24 hour gym?

    ChrisB asked 3 months ago

    The gym has been designed to allow for 24hr operations, but the gym’s operating hours are yet to be confirmed. This will be done in consultation with the community and users, the successful management contractor (once awarded) and Council prior to operations starting.

    Will there be a specific Mind / Body studio?

    Fast4wd asked 6 months ago

    A number of programs rooms have been included in the design with the ability to offer a variety of programs. It is intended that the successful operator will offer a number of different program types once the centre is up and running based on industry trends and patron demands.  From the EKLC Project Team

    Hello, I just wanted to ask whether there is any plans of building squash courts in the new centre. There is a lack of them in this area currently and people have to travel far if they have an interest in playing and it is often hard to get a booking as its so popular.

    Anita asked 6 months ago

    Hi,

    Unfortunately squash courts are not included in our design. The new centre will include an outdoor 50m pool, indoor 25m pool, indoor water play space, learn to swim pool, warm water program pool, spa and steam room, gym, creche, group fitness and cafe. Check out the document library to see the floor plans.

    East Keilor Leisure Centre The web page says opens mid-2021, the video says late-2020

    Stuart asked 8 months ago

    Hi Stuart,

    Sorry for the delayed response, we have experienced a technical issue with this webpage.

    Unfortunately the project has been delayed due to unforeseen issues with contract management which impacted the commencement of construction. Consequently, the facility is expected to open mid-2021.

    We are currently updating the video to reflect the new date.

    Regards,

    Mel
