Construction has begun at the site of Swan Active Ellenbrook – bringing completion of the $145 million facility a significant step closer.
With its doors expected to open at the end of 2027, the eagerly awaited regional-level aquatic and recreation centre is the flagship of the City of Swan’s extensive infrastructure projects.
Waterslides, pools and spas, a fitness centre, gym, wellness rooms and sports hall – plus outdoor amenities such as BBQs and picnic areas – are all included in the scope of the community-driven project.
The centre will incorporate state of the art sustainability initiatives, including a large solar array and environmentally friendly landscaping in outdoor areas.
The Australian Government has committed $30 million to the project and the Western Australian Government has committed $20 million.
Federal Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government Minister Catherine King noted that it was cooperation between all three levels of government that would deliver the project.
“Building this facility is also building a stronger community and supporting better health outcomes for the people who live here,” she said.
“With not only pools, slides and a barbeque, Swan Active Ellenbrook will be a centre for community connection, activity and fun for years to come.”
Hon. Rita Saffioti MLA, Deputy Premier and Member for West Swan, said she was delighted to see the project reach another significant milestone.
“This is an important day for everyone in Ellenbrook, with this fantastic community asset moving nearer to completion,” she said.
Tania Lawrence, Member for Hasluck, said “Today marks a huge step forward for the Ellenbrook community. Swan Active Ellenbrook will be a place where families come together and our whole community can enjoy a healthier, more active lifestyle.
“I’m incredibly proud that the Albanese Labor Government is investing in this project, which will deliver long-lasting benefits for one of the fastest-growing areas in our country.”
Michelle Maynard MLA, Member for Swan Hills, said Swan Active Ellenbrook will soon be bringing multiple benefits to a fast-growing community.
“As the local member, I’m pleased to see this Centre open and ready to support local groups and community activities in Ellenbrook,” she said.
Tanya Richardson, City of Swan Mayor, said support from the State and Federal Governments had been invaluable in bringing the project to life.
“It’s a perfect example of what can be achieved by three levels of government – Federal, State and local – working together for the benefit of the community.
“I am delighted to be here at this very important moment and thrilled to see the great progress made towards delivering our promise to the people of Ellenbrook,” she said.
