Jobs could be lost and flagship community campuses closed to locals as part of a major cost-cutting drive.
Perth and Kinross Council is struggling to make savings of £140,000 and is targeting its multi-million-pound hubs.
Bosses may also introduce new charges for using facilities after 5pm at weekends a service provided for free at the moment.
Part of the local authority’s £136 million Investment In Learning programme, the six campuses were designed to be available both to students and the general public.
However, it now appears a dwindling council budget could result in significant constraints being placed upon services.
It comes just months after the local authority came under fire for slashing cultural services across the area, which included closing down a specialist library in Perth.
Those cuts could eventually lead to as many as 13 posts being axed, and the council has admitted the latest changes could also result in redundancies.
A number of money-saving measures are being considered as part of the review, which will be discussed by councillors this week.
Preferred options include removing sports pay and play provision from the North Inch and Loch Leven community campuses.
The council believes the move will help it save upwards of £51,000 in operating costs but the report appears to indicate this will be offset almost immediately by a £24,000 reduction in income from Live Active Leisure customers.
During term-time, “casual users” will not be able to access any of the facilities available between 7am and 5pm on weekdays.
Staff who work at these two campuses would then “be removed” and face losing their jobs if no alternative posts are available.
A report to go before members of the lifelong learning committee on Wednesday admits locals could be “disgruntled” by the changes but gives assurances they will be able to access a full range of services elsewhere.
Meanwhile, an hourly charge of £80 will be introduced to extend opening times, with a minimum let of two hours.
As part of its Investment In Learning core contract, the council must provide this service with little or no notice for free on 50 occasions per year.
It now plans to renegotiate this agreement so it can achieve an annual saving of up to £26,000.
Although services are being cut in Kinross and Perth, demand at the Blairgowrie community campus has resulted in an increase in operating hours.
Following a successful interim arrangement, the facility will be open for a further three hours every Tuesday for club use.
Lifelong learning convener, Councillor Bob Band welcomed the review, saying: “The review of the community campuses has been carried out after the facilities have been operating for a number of years so we could assess footfall and usage.
“When the campuses opened we put in place the broadest range of options for services and activities we could offer.
“This review continues our approach to tailoring what we provide based on meeting customers’ varying and changing needs.
“From this, we have been able to identify measures to ensure the frontline services we and our partners provide through the campuses can be protected as much as possible, retaining access to key services in all localities.
“I am pleased to note while each campus differs in its operation, across the board there were very few periods where our communities were not making use of the facilities available to them.”
