Girrawheen Hub Precinct
Overview
The City is redeveloping the existing Girrawheen Hub to create a multi-purpose space that incorporates the existing hub, library, community centre and community garden uses, and provides opportunities for new uses, tenants and community groups.
Following community consultation in 2023, the initial concept design for the Girrawheen Hub Precinct was endorsed by Council in May 2024. More information about this stage of the project can be viewed on the Girrawheen Hub Precinct concept design consultation page.
The redeveloped precinct will offer wide-reaching benefits for the diverse community it services, enabling local people to access government and agency services close to home.
Community consultation is underway on a revised concept design, and it is anticipated that the final detailed design will be completed in October 2025. Community consultation will also continue to play a crucial role in shaping further design phases, ensuring the project meets the needs and aspirations of local residents.
The City intends to award a contractor by the end of 2025 to begin construction in January 2026.
The Girrawheen Hub Precinct is one of the City’s key advocacy projects and is part of the ‘Putting Community First’ campaign.
