The final design for the Kensington Community Recreation Centre will be considered by Council at the Future Melbourne Committee meeting on 1 December 2020.

Over two rounds of consultation we received considerable feedback, much of which has been incorporated into the final design.

Changes that have been incorporated include:

• Re-orientation of the main entrance and café to face JJ Holland Park.
• An expansion of the swimming pool from six lanes to eight lanes.
• An indoor water play area with spouts and fountains available all year round.
• An increased number of multi-purpose courts.
• An expanded gym, five times the size of the current offering.
• Multipurpose rooms to cater to wide range of activities and community needs.
• Significant environmental sustainable features.
• Upgraded change facilities including family change rooms and accessible adult change facility.
