Last Updated Friday 20 June, 2025

Patrons are advised of ongoing upgrades to the carpark at Ascot Vale Leisure Centre. These upgrades will include improvements to lighting, accessible parking bays and raised pedestrian crossing. 

Stage Two works have commenced with car park 1 temporarily closed from Friday 20 June. Centre accessibility will not be impacted.
 

Stage One Works Complete - Wombat Crossing / Entry Works

Current Stage Two Works - Car Park 1

ACCESS: All entrances to the centre are available.

PARKING: Car park 1 will be closed. Car parks 2 & 3 are available fro utilisation, including 11 accessible car parks in car park 2.
 

Upon completion, the project will achieve the following:

• Additional Accessible Parking Bays: Five new accessible parking pays will be added, increasing our capacity to 5% of the total car park, in line with MVCC's Accessible Parking Review and Strategy Development Plan. 
• Upgraded Accessible Parking Bays: Existing accessible parking bays will be upgraded to meet the latest Australian standards, ensuring compliance and ease of use.
• Raised Pedestrian Crossing: A new raised pedestrian crossing will be installed, providing a safe and accessible path for pedestrians to cross Pynor Avenue from the Eastern car park.
• New Tactile Ground Surface Indicators (T.G.S.I’s): New warning tactile ground surface indicators will be implemented to assist patrons who are blind or vision impaired.
• Improved Road Safety Conditions: Enhanced road safety measures, including new line markings, traffic calming measures, and speed management devices, will be introduced to ensure safer vehicle movements throughout the car park and along Pynor Avenue.

• Enhancing Car Park Lighting: Following comprehensive lighting assessments, new lighting will be installed and existing fixtures upgraded to improve light quality, safety, and security throughout the car park. The car park lighting will comply with acceptable public lighting standards.
