Another big year of project delivery in Kingston

Published on 24 September 2025

The City of Kingston has completed another strong year of capital works, with 93 per cent of the budget delivered across the community in 2024-25.

Mayor Cr Georgina Oxley said the results reflected Council’s ongoing commitment to building a liveable, sustainable and well-serviced city.

“These projects are about making a real difference in people’s daily lives – whether it’s creating great places for children and families, improving our parks and open spaces, or investing in the community facilities that bring people together,” Cr Oxley said.

“We’re proud to have delivered more than 230 projects across Kingston this year, with a strong focus on supporting active lifestyles, community connection and our future growth.”

Key highlights from the 2024–25 program included:

• Commencing construction on the Mordi Aquatic Centre redevelopment ($23.9 million)
• Completing the new Dingley Village Neighbourhood House and Early Years Centre ($4.2 million)
• Major improvements to drains ($4.7 million) and roads and footpaths ($7 million)
• New and upgraded playgrounds, parks and reserves ($3.6 million combined)
• Upgrades to community clubs, sporting facilities and pavilions including the Dingley Reserve Souter Pavilion ($3.5 million)

Cr Oxley said the range of projects delivered demonstrated Council’s commitment to balancing investment across suburbs and services.

“From safer roads and drains to better playgrounds, libraries and community hubs, we’re ensuring that every part of Kingston benefits from these investments,” she said.

“This is about building the foundations of a city that is inclusive, connected and ready for the future.”

In total, Council delivered $70.8 million worth of capital works, including $23.8 million on the Mordi Aquatic Centre project which remains on track for completion in late 2026.
