**************************************************************************************
We’re currently halfway through the concept design phase. The concept design establishes the floor plan for the centre — which is within the footprint of the current site — and is where we explore options for the size of key spaces, movement through the site, scale and form of buildings and general layout.
At this stage, landscaping is indicative – a concept only.
Once endorsed by Council, the process will move to the schematic design phase, where the selected concept is further refined and finalised through materials, colours, landscaping and finishes.
The concept plans for Carnegie Swim Centre includes:
- an outdoor 50 metre, eight lanepool;
- an outdoor diving pool;
- an indoor warm water program pool and 25 metre learn-to-swim pool;
- a concourse spa;
- indoor sauna, steam room and accessible changerooms;
- indoor program rooms;
- consultancy rooms;
- a café;
- outdoor children’s splash pad/water play;
- lawn areas and open spaces (including retention of the eastern mound);
- barbeques and shaded seating; and
- the retention of character and local charm.
Council has also engaged traffic engineers to conduct a study on traffic and parking impacts on the surrounding area. This report is available in the Document Library.
The redevelopment of Carnegie Swim Centre is an important project that will boost the local economy and provide many jobs. A redeveloped Centre will also improve the general experience for users, support opportunities to enhance community feel and connectedness, and will ensure that the Centre remains environmentally sustainable. We are planning now so that Carnegie Swim Centre can meet the needs of the growing community for years to come.
The project is estimated to be completed by early 2023.
