The City of Bayswater is undertaking important improvement works at Bayswater Waves from 7 April 2025, including the replacement of a large section of the facility’s roof and gutters. These upgrades will address infrastructure not included in the recent refurbishment and will significantly improve the overall functionality, safety and experience for patrons.
Roof Replacement Works at Bayswater Waves
To make the most of this opportunity, additional maintenance works will also be completed, such as:
- Improving spa jet functionality
- Repairing and replacing tiles in the hydrotherapy and steam room areas
- Undertaking sauna maintenance
- Repainting and cosmetic touch-ups
These works are essential to maintaining Bayswater Waves as a premier aquatic and fitness destination for our community.
Temporary Vehicle Access Update – Thursday 24 April
As part of the ongoing Bayswater Waves Roof Replacement Works, a crane lift has been scheduled for Thursday 24 April 2025, between 7:00am and 2:00pm.
During this time, the following traffic and access changes will apply:
-
Vehicle entry will be available via Broun Avenue only
-
No access from Broadway will be permitted for the duration of the lift
-
Carpark access will be partially impacted
-
We recommend allowing extra time for arrival and departure
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we carry out these essential upgrades to improve the facility for all patrons.
Managing Disruptions
While the works are confirmed, some temporary closures and program adjustments will be required throughout April and early May to ensure safety while contractors are onsite. These closures are planned to take place in stages, and we will do everything possible to minimise disruption and keep patrons informed.
Where possible, alternate options will be provided, including:
- Access to Morley Sport & Recreation Centre and The RISE gyms at no additional cost for health club members
- Relocated group fitness classes
- Adjusted swim lesson locations
- Continued use of the 25m and 50m pools
Group Fitness
All Group Fitness service changes as a result of the Roof Replacement Works are now completed.
However, don’t forget our April Holiday Group Fitness Timetables running from 18-25 April, as well as our Regular Group Fitness Timetable Changes commencing Tuesday 22 April
School Holidays
We understand that April is a busy time for families. To help keep kids active and entertained during the holidays, we’re excited to confirm that the giant inflatable obstacle course will be available daily in the 50m pool for the entire school holiday period — regardless of the works.
The April Swim School Holiday Program will also be going ahead as planned from 14–17 April, with adjustments in place to ensure adequate pool space for all classes.
