City Facilities

Our area-wide $187 million capital works program provides needed services and facilities for a growing city. Design excellence and sustainability are incorporated in all our projects.

Libraries

The Surry Hills Library and Community Centre will soon open, setting new public building sustainability standards and providing a two-floor library and 26-place childcare centre. With Customs House, this adds to our extensive library network, now offering free wireless internet.

Town Halls

To protect our most important public building, Sydney Town Hall, we have begun replacing outdated electrical services and upgrading fire protection and safety. Restoration work is also underway at Glebe, Paddington and Erskineville Town Halls.

Community Facilities

Kings Cross library expansion, community performance space at the Tabernacle, more childcare places and an upgrade of the Mary McDonald Centre in Woolloomooloo are planned. Other upgrades include new lifts at the Ultimo Community Centre and Glebe Town Hall, and air-conditioning at the Pyrmont Community Centre.
