The Gurri Wanyarra Wellbeing Centre will open on October 27, almost a year behind schedule.
Olympic gold and silver medallist Brooke Hanson will be present at the opening of the multi-million dollar facility.
The centre will include wellness suites, program rooms and an all-abilities warm water exercise pool with an access ramp.

The facility was due to open in December 2017.
