Cardinia calls for sporting and recreation facilities that are big enough to cater for our growing needs.

Good sport, recreation and leisure opportunities add to the culture, lifestyle and character of the region and play an important part in a well-balanced lifestyle.

The benefits associated with participating in sport and physical activity include physical and mental health, social interaction, personal enjoyment and achievement, community involvement, community resilience and opportunities for expression of community pride.

Evidence also suggests that regular, club-based participation can help to reduce destructive behaviour and negative social activity and build understanding between diverse cultures.

We welcome funding support that will benefit social inclusion, physical activity and community connectedness through the provision of fit-for-purpose, future-proofed sport and recreation facilities and projects.

Cardinia Life, our premier aquatic and leisure facility, was built in 2006.

Cardinia Life must continue to provide the facilities, programs and services that meet the needs of our growing community, now and into the future.

The centre is a vital and much-loved part of our community – and has been for more than 16 years. Our community needs us to keep it that way!

Population growth and increased use means the centre has reached its capacity. The redevelopment will deliver exponential economic, health and social benefits to the community and strengthen its position as a valued community asset.

Council has guaranteed funding for this important project and undertaken community consultation. Cardinia is calling on the state and federal governments to allocate funding too.
