Project News - April 2025

Willoughby City Council is increasing the budget allocation for the Willoughby Leisure Centre project—from the original $38.9 million to $65 million - following a necessary change in project scope. In line with this, we are also announcing a new anticipated opening in February, 2026.

This adjustment responds to challenges encountered due to latent in-ground site conditions.

The video below describes more about the project, the history of the Willoughby Leisure Centre site at Bicentennial Reserve, and the unique challenges our project team has faced due to the site’s prior uses.

We will continue to provide regular updates on the project and timeline through this page and other channels, as new information becomes available.
