NEW PROJECT REVEALED IN $86.9 MILLION MOUNT DRUITT MAKEOVER
07 May 2025
Blacktown City Council has revealed the first of three projects which it says are set to transform the suburb of Mount Druitt – a $26.8 million expansion of the Mount Druitt Library and Community Hub.
A new two-storey wing adjacent to the existing building will provide a children’s library and play area, open-plan study spaces including reading areas, six study rooms, four group study rooms, ten meeting rooms, five activity rooms and a multi-function rooms for large gatherings. Works to the surrounding landscape will foster a sense of community for the new hub.
The Revitalisation of the Mount Druitt Hub will be a $26.9 million expansion of the pre-existing Hub. This facility is the first of 3 community facilities being revitalised or built in the Mount Druitt precinct funded as part of the Western Sydney Infrastructure Grants (WSIG) program. The expanded library and community hub, the upgrade to the Mount Druitt Swimming Centre and First Nations Cultural Hub are all part of a masterplan for the town centre.
The Council’s masterplan aims to improve pedestrian and vehicle access around the town centre while retaining its parkland atmosphere.
“The Mount Druitt Library and Community Hub is just the beginning in a transformation that will change how people think about the town centre. There is a growing community here crying out for new places to work, rest and play, and I am looking forward to providing for them," explained Mount Druitt Mayor Brad Bunting.
Construction of the expanded Mount Druitt Library and Community Hub is expected to begin in 2026. Completion is anticipated by late 2027.
