Project description
Located on Olympic Way in Pakenham, Cardinia Life includes indoor pool, community health, sporting and recreational facilities.
The facility’s north-east car park located closest to the indoor pool includes 76 parking bays and 7 accessible spaces.
Over the years, the surface has worn down and is now in poor condition, so it’s time for a much-needed refresh to keep the area safe and easy to use for everyone.
Works will include:
- Pavement renewal works to parking bays and the access road
- Line marking
Resurfacing works are completed proactively to help prevent damage to the road pavement and prolong the life of the road.
Depending on the road, traffic volumes and its condition, treatments may include spray sealing or asphalt works.
Assessments are completed to determine what level of resurfacing works are required that maximise community benefit and amenity.
Cardinia Life is a highly valued and well used community asset that attracts people from right across the shire. Redevelopment of the centre’s regional basketball and gymnastics stadium is one of Council’s key advocacy priorities that will drive our state election advocacy campaign and other advocacy efforts.

Funding
This project is fully funded through Council’s 2025-26 Car Park Resurfacing Program.
Progress update
Works were completed in January 2026.
Council engaged contractors to complete these upgrade works on its behalf.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we make these improvements for the benefit of the whole community. We apologise for any inconvenience and look forward to delivering better roads and infrastructure.
