The ongoing transformation of Fraser Rise continues as it grows into a sustainable and thriving urban landscape. Residents of the Clara Place and the broader Fraser Rise community can look forward to an exciting new addition - the Plumpton Aquatic and Leisure Centre.
This state-of-the-art aquatic and wellness facility is set to become a vibrant hub for the local community, offering a range of inclusive and accessible amenities to support healthy and connected living. Located just a 10-minute drive from Clara Place, the $116 million centre will feature an impressive array of facilities.
Designed with significant community input, the new Plumpton Aquatic and Leisure Centre will boast indoor pools, splash play areas, and water slides, as well as spa and sauna facilities. Fitness enthusiasts will be thrilled by the expansive health and fitness areas, including a 24-hour gym, while allied health services will also be available on-site.
But the centre's offerings don't stop there. An outdoor interactive water play area with a beach-style design, change rooms, a café, and over 2,000 square meters of commercial space will make this a true community hub. And in a first for Australia, the centre will feature a water sensory area, catering to the needs of all members of the community.
The council has been working closely with local residents to ensure the new centre meets the needs and desires of the Fraser Rise community. Through a comprehensive community consultation process, feedback has been gathered on the types of activities, programs, and spaces residents would most like to see.
This valuable input has directly informed the design and planned uses of the Plumpton Aquatic and Leisure Centre, ensuring it will truly become a hub for physical activity, participation, community connectivity, and fun.
Construction on this exciting project is anticipated to begin in late 2026, with the centre expected to open its doors in early 2028. Situated just a short walk from the future Prep-12 school and the Clara Place precinct, the new centre will be easily accessible for residents of Clara Place and the broader Fraser Rise community.
As Fraser Rise continues its transformation into a sustainable and thriving urban landscape, the Plumpton Aquatic and Leisure Centre will undoubtedly become a cherished centerpiece - a place for families to come together, stay active, and build connections within this vibrant and growing neighbourhood.
