Payneham Memorial Swimming Centre | Upgrade Update
The much-loved Payneham Memorial Swimming Centre in Felixstow is being transformed into an exciting water park to delight swimmers, families and the wider community.
As part of the Norwood, Payneham & St Peter’s Council Swimming Centres Strategy, which was endorsed in 2017, the Payneham Memorial Swimming Centre is currently under construction to be completely redeveloped with two new pools, high platform waterslides and water play areas.
The Payneham Memorial Swimming Centre’s grand return will be officially marked by a community celebration during the October school holidays.

The $60 million development includes a $5.6 million contribution from the State Government through the Local Government Infrastructure Partnership Program, supporting this exciting community enhancement.
The project is expected to generate 100 new jobs during construction, with an additional 40 jobs (e.g. lifeguards and staff) once the centre re-opens.
