Zillmere Library is up for upgrades and will soon be transformed into a fit-for-purpose facility for the community.
Refurbishments have started at Zillmere Library as of February 2023 and will entail a new dedicated site for children and young adults. New seating will be brought in to make the library more conducive to reading and studying.
The toilet amenities will be upgraded with modern fixtures, alongside the addition of new lighting, furniture and carpet. Visitors to the library will see landscape improvements on the site’s external appearance.
Zillmere Library will get a bush tucker garden as a cultural and learning focal point for the library and the local community. Local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander horticulturalists/specialists and groups will be developing and growing this garden.
In line with the construction, some access and restrictions will be enforced in stages that may disrupt work and visits to the library. Jenning Street will be temporarily closed off for staging works and machinery access.
The last refurbishments done on Zillmere Library were from 2007 to 2008. Thus, the current construction and improvement works are much warranted.
Council estimates that this project will be completed in mid-2023. For questions or feedback, phone 1800 884 681 during business hours or 07 3403 8888 after hours.
