The redevelopment of the Payneham Memorial Swimming Centre into a modern aquatic leisure centre is well underway.

The project is expected to take approximately two years and is on track for completion in early 2026.

So far, the following works have been completed:

  • demolition of the former buildings, pools and infrastructure
  • upgrades to the sewer main and water connections
  • earthworks and soil contamination management
  • concrete pours for the Learn to Swim and 25 metre pools
  • installation of precast walls along the OG Road frontage.

The next stages include:

  • construction of the pool hall building
  • concrete pours for the 50-metre outdoor pool
  • installation of a new electrical transformer.

In the meantime, there’s plenty of opportunity to splash around or swim laps at the Norwood Swimming Centre, located on Phillips Street, Kensington.
