A wishlist for a refurbished Galleon Leisure Centre has been drawn up by its operators.
But rising costs of between £20m to £25m is likely to mean some facilities are ruled out.
Kilmarnock Galleon Leisure Trust’s proposals include:
They also seek further improvements on the exterior and to the mechanical and electrical systems.
A tentative timescale suggests that the newly refurbished centre could be finished by December 2026.
A report to East Ayrshire Council states: “It is important to highlight that although this is the preferred option by the Galleon Trustees, this is unlikely to be affordable within the financial envelope already approved.”
It adds that a review of the capital budget will ‘undoubtedly’ lead to a reduction in how much the council spends.
The need to improve the Galleon followed an assessment in 2018, which highlighted the deterioration of the building, which was opened in 1987.
Officials had recommended building a new centre at the Galleon site, at an estimated cost of £33m.
In June 2019, councillors opted to refurbish and repurpose the Galleon, with £13.85m allocated for the work, albeit recognising it would likely require additional funds.
This was confirmed later when the estimated cost was raised to £17.75m. The latest update shows that costs have risen once again, to £20.6m, largely due to the impact of Covid, Brexit and rising energy costs.

At 75 years of age and having already directed nearly 20 films, at this point in his career, Chinese-born Taiwanese film director and screenwriter Hou Hsiao-hsien delivers a film every ten years or so or whenever he’s damn ready. The last film he made, “The Assassin” (2015; our review), possibly the artiest, most meditative wuxia film ever made and something of a masterpiece (I don’t really make top 10 lists anymore, but the last time I did one, “The Assassin” was on it).

“To be honest, the idea of freedom scares me:” Produced and presented by filmmaker Roman Coppola (“Mozart in the Jungle,” “A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III,” and a regular Wes Anderson co-writer), eight different filmmakers come together to collectively direct “The Seven Faces of Jane,” in which the titular protagonist (played by Gillian Jacobs, who also directs) undergoes a series of life-altering changes, as she drives away from her “mundane life into an exciting odyssey on the road.” The idea is essentially a cinematic exquisite corpse, the game invented by French surrealists, where one person writes a fragment of a sentence, the next person reads some of it, and tries to add onto it from there; essentially an experimental game of passing the baton with art.
