City of Whittlesea has appointed Belgravia Leisure as the new facility manager of the council’s three swimming and recreation centres.
The centres include Mill Park Leisure, Thomastown Recreation and Aquatic Centre, and Whittlesea Swim Centre.
Chair administrator Lydia Wilson said the new contract had significant community benefits for the one million visitors who attend the centres each year.
“The appointment promises to deliver efficiencies and benefits to community by ensuring services are accessible and inclusive to all people and enhancing participation by offering a diverse range of program and activities,” she said.
Placing the health and wellbeing of the community at the forefront of their operations, Belgravia Leisure will develop several new exercise programs to ensure residents of all ages have access to the new initiatives.
The programs will also seek to prioritise access and inclusivity, with a particular focus on children, women, people with a disability, and those from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
