Heat Pump Tech and Construction Progress Update

At last night's Council meeting, Councillors decided to move ahead with installing heat pumps at the Kew Recreation Centre.

This will make the centre an all-electric facility, helping us achieve our emissions reduction targets in the Climate Action Plan. Taking these steps now will provide long term benefits, creating an environmentally sustainable facility, which we know is important to our community.

You can watch the Council meeting and read the report on the 30 June 2025 Council Meeting page.

Construction progress

You may have noticed steel being delivered to the construction site over the last few weeks. This is for the structural steel framing above the warm-water pool, which is currently being installed.

Pouring of the concrete shell for the 25-metre, learn-to-swim and leisure pools is complete, as is the water testing.

Catch up on some of last month's highlights with Cr Sophie Torney, Mayor of Boroondara, including a visit to the Kew Recreation Centre construction site in a video on our Facebook page.
