Enfield Aquatic Centre redevelopment render

Council's mission is to create a state-of-the-art aquatic and leisure facility located within the active and busy recreational precinct of Enfield - an important place for the Burwood community which is already undergoing major transformation.

This redevelopment aims to improve the Enfield Aquatic Centre’s physical condition and functionality so that it’s accessible year round, and can offer more diverse programming. The project proposes the addition of a new 50m outdoor pool, café, and more to modernise and attract local membership, whilst importantly maintaining The Aquatic Centre’s heritage value and original charm.

The Burwood Library Pod will be a self-service kiosk open 24/7. The new technology, to be located in Enfield, will utilise automated library technology to increase community access to library services and resources. It will engage the community in education and leisure activities, providing parents with a pass time during children’s swimming lessons, but also to engage children in library services and books.

New 50m outdoor pool and concourse, including heating provisions
Café with indoor and outdoor functionality
