Thank you for your feedback. The trial of the extended outdoor pool season at Keilor East Leisure Centre has now concluded.
On 26 March 2024, Council considered the trial outcomes - including visitation data, costs, community feedback, and the increase in carbon emissions, and resolved to set the outdoor pool season from the start of the September school holidays to the end of the April school holidays.

Since the centre’s opening in November 2021, Council has been monitoring and reviewing the heated outdoor pool’s opening hours. An initial 12-month trial of extended opening hours concluded at the end of the day on 29 May 2023.
Further to this trial, Council agreed at its regular meeting on 23 May 2023 to endorse an additional extension to the outdoor pool opening season at Keilor East Leisure Centre. This means the outdoor pool will be open for summer hours from the start of September 2023 school holidays to the end of the April 2024 school holidays.
