Yamba Library and Community Centre on track to open in first quarter 

It’s official: The Yamba Library and Community Centre in Treelands Drive is planned to be completed and open in July 2025. 

Final touches are currently being put on the new, purpose-built centre and its surrounding grounds, which feature a modern design and ample natural lighting. 

The new library is three times the size of the old one and will provide expanded opportunities for the community to engage in library programs and activities.

The facility is designed to provide flexible and functional spaces for a wide range of community groups and events well into the future.

Clarence Valley Mayor Ray Smith PSM congratulated everyone involved in the project – including a range of local subcontractors – for ensuring its completion on time and within budget.

“The new library and community centre is a fantastic facility that will benefit the community now and for years to come, thanks to the dedication and hard work of those behind the scenes,” Cr Smith said.

“Funding support of $11 million from the Australian and NSW Governments was also instrumental in making this new community centre a reality.”
