 Mayor of The Hills Shire, Dr Peter Gangemi, said the $55 million project has been one of the biggest and most rewarding ever undertaken by Council.

“It’s been incredible to see this project through from concept to completion, and I am so proud of what this Council has achieved for our community,” he said.

“I’m certain that the new Waves will become a favourite destination for residents and visitors and I can’t wait to present it to everyone at our Community Open Day.

“I encourage residents to come to our Community Open Day and find out what the new Waves has to offer.

“This project is the result of many years of planning and hard work by many people, and I am delighted it is opening in time for the warmer months ahead.”

The team at Waves will be available to answer membership enquiries at the Community Open Day. The complex is located at 44 Mileham Avenue, Baulkham Hills.
