A community centre is a space designed to bring people together and support local activities, events, and services. It can host a variety of programs, such as fitness classes, educational workshops, cultural gatherings, and social services. Examples of community centres in the City of Parramatta area include Boronia Grove Community Centre in Epping and Don More Community Centre in North Rocks.
As part of this project, Council is planning to establish a new community centre in Carlingford that will incorporate library services, further enhancing access to educational and social opportunities within the community. Examples of community centres with integrated library services include the Wentworth Point Community Centre and Library, and PHIVE in Parramatta.
The new community centre and library will offer a range of spaces designed to meet the diverse needs of the community, including study areas, workspaces, meeting rooms, event and gathering spaces, as well as book collections and programs. Your feedback will play a key role in shaping the final design and ensuring that all community needs are considered in the development of this facility.
We are currently in the planning and design phase for the community centre and library, and we will keep the community informed with updates on the project timeline and the anticipated opening. Please complete the survey or click the "Follow" button at the top of the page to receive updates. Currently, the Carlingford Community Centre and Library is expected to be ready for the public in late 2027 or early 2028, depending on the overall progress of the Carling development construction progress.
Once the new Carlingford Community Hub and Library is operational, the current library will be decommissioned and the future of the site will be investigated.
There will also be a supermarket, retail shops, a childcare facility, residential apartment units and open space in the same precinct and they will be managed by Meriton.
