A new centrepiece for leisure activities for Wonthaggi and surrounding townships. The current facility is 45 years old and restricted in its ability to provide the community with programs to improve health and wellbeing, it does little in attracting increased membership, casual use, events, activities and competitions.

The proposed Bass Coast Aquatics and Leisure Centre will feature a range of facilities and be capable of accommodating competitive swimming, leisure activities, general community use and major regional events.

The future Bass Coast Aquatic and Leisure Centre is designed to be a regional facility, and is recommended to contain the following components:

• Main competition pool with 25m x 10 lanes which is able to cater for large short course competitions and is comparable to other facilities in similar areas.
• Warm Water/Leisure/Learn to Swim Program Pool (Catering for older adults, leisure and learn to swim areas with moveable floor)
• Water Play Unit and Splash Pad with adjoining Toddlers Pool
• Dry and Steam Saunas
• In-ground Spa
• Gym (requires 24-hour access design)
• Multipurpose Rooms / Function Rooms
• Foyer, Reception, Merchandising, Café
• Offices, Administration/Staff Rooms and Meeting Rooms
• Change Rooms and Amenities
