Mernda aquatics and leisure facility

The City of Whittlesea is seeking co-investment of $40 million to support the delivery of an aquatics and leisure facility in Mernda.

Youth Centre

With a large and growing population of children, teens and young adults, our municipality needs dedicated spaces for young people.
