What's happening?

Yamba will soon be home to a modern, spacious cultural and educational hub with the construction of the Treelands Drive Community Hub (Yamba Community Precinct).

The new building will be located on the site of the existing Treelands Drive Community Centre, and designed to create a precinct integrated with the TAFE NSW Connect Learning Centre and Yamba Community Health.

It will include a new art space, dedicated youth space, outdoor communal areas and additional public parking. Flexible configuration of up to eight meeting spaces will be able to cater to a wide range of small and large user groups as well as a new library twice the size of the current facility. 

The Treelands Drive Community Hub (Yamba Community Precinct), is jointly funded by the Australian and NSW Governments through the Bushfire Local Economic Recovery Fund, in association with Clarence Valley Council.
