Leisure Centre contract goes to The Cox Group

THE Cranbourne Aquatic and Leisure Centre is one step closer to being built after the contract was awarded this week.
Design of the multi-million dollar complex was awarded to The Cox Group at a special council meeting on Tuesday night.
The design team will cover issues including architecture, planning, mechanical, landscaping, car parking and cost planning under the $2 million contract.
Previous aquatic projects undertaken by The Cox Group include Casey ARC, Sydney International Aquatic Centre, Australian Institute for Sport Aquatic Facility and Asian Games Stadium/Aquatic Centre in Bangkok.
When finished, the centre, to be built at the Casey Indoor Leisure Complex on Berwick-Cranbourne Road, will include a 50-metre competition pool.
There will be spectator seating for 250 people, two leisure pools, a hot water program pool, spa, sauna and steamroom.
The centre will include a weights and cardio room and two rooms for group fitness classes.
There will also be a food and retail outlet, wet and dry change rooms, a creche, and consulting rooms for service providers.
