Exciting update for Northern Beaches Community Hub!

The Northern Beaches Community Hub Stage 1B is taking shape. The superstructure (steel framing) is now complete for building one.

Residents can now get a full sense of the building’s scale and layout. A big shoutout to the project team for keeping things moving along safely and efficiently.

About the project:

Stage 1B of the Northern Beaches Community Hub will deliver a modern library, flexible community rooms, a town square, courtyard, café space, some undercover parking and customer service facilities – supporting a growing community for decades to come.

The Australian Government has contributed $6.5 million towards Stage 1A and $15 million through the Growing Regions Program Round 1 for Stage 1B of the Northern Beaches Community Hub.

The Growing Regions Program supports community focused infrastructure that revitalises regional areas and improves local amenity and liveability.

Stages 1A and 1B of the Northern Beaches Community Hub are jointly funded by the Australian Government and Mackay Regional Council.
