Warrawong District Community Centre and Library

Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this link

Following extensive community engagement in 2019, Council has been working on a concept design for a new district community centre and library in Warrawong. We asked the community how we could make the facility a welcoming and accessible place for all and what people wanted to be able to do there.

Many of you provided valuable feedback which helped shape the vision and design for the building which now includes an outdoor community space - the town square. We are excited to bring you the first look of our new district facility and invite your participation in bringing the town square to life.

The site for the new community centre and library is on the corner of King and Greene streets in Warrawong.

Placemaking is about creating good public spaces that promote people’s health, happiness, and economic well-being. We'll be taking a placemaking approach to the new Town Square as we want the community at the heart of creating this new outdoor public space for Warrawong.

    Nothing mentioned about parking and disability access

    Talia Perikleous asked 11 days ago

    Parking has been planned to conform with Council’s Development Control and planning requirements, as well as industry benchmarks and standards for community facilities. Parking is also planned with reference to Council’s commitments to environmental sustainability. A Green Travel Plan will detail the suite of policies and practices available to increase the attractiveness of walking, cycling and public transport to the facility.

    Planning for the new facility is informed by our Disability Inclusion Action Plan and will provide full access to all areas of the centre for people living with restricted mobility, as well as other disabilities. An adult changing place and other accessible amenities will be provided.

    There is mention of pedestrian access. Will access for wheeled mobility of all forms (including cycling and mobility scooters/aids) be considered? E.g., well-designed and connected cycleways and wide paths linking the library to other key Warrawong locations such as the mall and path around the lake, and to residential areas; UNDERCOVER, secure bike lock-up stations near the entrance to the centre with high visibility to deter vandalism and theft.

    Council is supportive of making cycling integral to city life, and developed the Wollongong Cycling Strategy 2030 to direct our actions. For this project, a green travel plan is being developed to support walking, cycling, and the use of public transport. The project will provide bicycle parking spaces based on the recommendations of the green travel plan.

    Council is also currently in the early stages of design for the associated Warrawong Town Centre Upgrade project, and this includes consideration of footpaths and cycleways in the broader town centre area. Further detail will be announced as the design of the town centre upgrade project develops.
