Williams Ross were engaged at the end of 2023 to develop the new Fraser Rise Aquatic & Leisure Centre with Melton City Council. The centre will focus on wellbeing, accessibility and inclusion, featuring Australia’s first water sensory area. It will be a destination for physical activity, participation, community connectivity and fun.

Council and community aspirations for Fraser Rise Aquatic & Leisure Centre have overwhelmingly been for a facility that welcomes its diverse community and creates a place for people of all abilities to feel comfortable and participate.

The concept for the Fraser Rise Aquatic & Leisure Centre is based on community needs - addressing the significant allied health service gaps and providing meaningful all-abilities access to the aquatic sensory experience.

The new centre will be an all-electric facility aiming for a 5-star Green Star accreditation.

  • 50m, 8 lane competition pool with accessible ramp, swim wall and spectator seating.

  • 2 x Learn-to-Swim pools

  • Leisure and toddler’s pool with accessible beach entry

  • Water play unit and splashpad

  • Warm water program pool with accessible ramp

  • Spas and sauna

  • Sensory aquatic space

  • Health and fitness spaces, including a 1,400 square metre gym and group fitness spaces
