The new hub is more than a library or community centre, like our vision says it’s a place to connect with other, to be inspired and a place to just be.

There will be a place for all the library facilities you are familiar with, whether that be the book and digital collection, computers and internet or a cosy place to sit and read a magazine or newspaper. There will be dedicated kid’s area and young adults collection and spaces to expand into to join story time, author talks, and other activities.

There will be multiple activity spaces for regular activities such as fitness groups, cooking and light meals, art workshops and social activities. Activity spaces will be available to be booked by the community for meetings, workshops and activities.

There will be multiple spaces to sit, relax, read or study including an outdoor under-cover area.

Engagement was undertaken with the community in 2021 and 2022, many drop in community conversation sessions were held throughout Henley and Grange.

The detailed design phase is underway and will be completed at the end of 2022.

Construction has commenced and will be completed in December 2024.

Henley Library has now closed for the construction works.

Henley & Grange community centre will be open until Ngutungka Henley opens in December 2024.

During the closure you can visit other libraries, including Ngutungka West Lakes. The Mobile Library will also be making additional stops in Henley over this time. Head to our website for the schedule.

The cost of the project is $10.2m.

Yes, the RSL will still be open during the construction. Check their social media or website for trading hours.

A new car park will be constructed on Military Road along the front portion of the Henley depot site which is located across the road from Ngutungka. In addition, parking time limits in the car park are being considered to ensure car parks are available for people coming to use the facility.
