The $69 million Bay Pavilions is one of the largest and certainly most unique facilities in Australia. Opening in mid-2022 after receiving $51 million in grants from State and Federal Governments, the Bay Pavilions is a place of joy, a place of community and a place of well-being for body and mind. It is where art meets swimming, where workshops meet workouts, where drama meets play and where morning meets night.
Aligned Leisure manages all facets of the operation, from live performances for the 350-seat theatre to learn to swim programs and the entire fitness and wellness products.
The Eurobodalla community can also connect at the Narooma Swimming Centre and the Moruya War Memorial Pool which forms part of Aligned Leisure’s engagement.

Connection
Since Aligned Leisure’s commencement in 2016, not only has Council been incredibly satisfied as to the performance of the Cardinia Leisure Facilities, but their genuine partnership approach has led to many improved community health outcomes. Yes, growth metrics have increased across the board, but our partnership is more significant than just this focus.
Their transparency in all areas demonstrates their desire for genuine partnership. We look forward to a long-lasting relationship with Aligned Leisure.
