SHNC has moved!!!
We have just moved into our brand new premises in the Surry Hills Community Centre in Crown Street, the same site as the old library opposite Shannon Reserve.
The new Centre is one of Sydney's most environmentally-friendly buildings and houses the City Library, a 26-place Childcare facility and dedicated space for the Surry Hills Neighbourhood Centre. Click here to register your interest in having your children attend our Long Day Care service at the new Centre. Our temporary Occasional Car service at Chippendale has now closed.
We can now space hire to local community groups so they can run their activities in comfort and safety. Click here to express your interest in holding your group meetings at the new Centre.
The $14 million design features an internal glass bio-filtration atrium where specially selected plants filter the air before it is naturally cooled underground and recirculated throughout the building. The new Community Centre sets a benchmark in environmentally sustainable design, showcasing cutting-edge innovations and demonstrating the City's commitment to environmentally responsible development.
The official opening of the new Surry Hills Library and Community Centre will be held on 13 June 2009 from 11am.
