Join THE call to support a new community hub and library at Brighton Le Sands

​​​​

Bayside Council is planning to redevelop the Boulevard Carpark at Brighton Le Sands; the current plans for the car park focus on improving parking availability, creating a rooftop destination and bringing community facilities into a central location.

 

So now is the moment for the community to have a voice on what that looks like. With the closure of both the Baby Health Clinic and the small part-time library in Brighton Le Sands, we believe the area is due for new fit-for-purpose community facilities.

 

Parents with younger children want to access books, especially children in early childhood; and older residents want computer access and a meeting place at a community hub.

 

A new modern, flexible community hub and library on the ground floor of the new Brighton Le Sands car park would create a beating heart for the community. It would provide a safe, non-commercial space for people of all ages and abilities, making the whole precinct more attractive. Currently, the option for this space is either community or commercial space - and we support it being a community space!
 

With many high-rise apartments around Brighton Le Sands, this would also enable a larger playground or community square at Heslehurst Reserve, to create a vibrant go-to place for local residents.
