New library for Logan Central!

16 July 2010

Over the past 6 months (and more!), development has been progressing for the new library for Logan Central. A total revamp has been carried out on the building, including internal and external structures as well as the surrounding car park. The new Logan Central library will be located in Wilbur Street, Logan Central with completion expected to be early / mid December 2010.

Take a peek at how the construction has been going…

Digging around, flattening out and then graveled, tarred and painted with lines.

A lick of paint making a difference.

Plenty of car parking will be available.

Internal walls and a lift shaft’s beginnings.

This project has been jointly funded by Federal Government through the RLCIP Scheme and Logan City Council.

Construction company Hutchinson Constructions, Architects Brand & Slater and Project Manager Opus.

The latest Topical Tea at Logan Hyperdome Library was on the subject of Wills and Power of Attorney. Close to 40 people attended to hear Shaune McPherson from The Public Trustee of Queensland speak about the factors people need to consider when making Wills and appointing a Power of Attorney. Shaune was able to answer the questions asked of him and took time at the end of his presentation to speak to people individually. It was a great success. Thank you to Shaune for taking the time to speak to everyone. Congratulations to Jennifer Ingram our lucky door book prize winner. Click on a thumbnail to enlarge the image:
