First look at community space of the future
This is your chance to see how a modern facility in the heart of a Sunshine Coast seaside town will reach new heights once completed.
The anticipation for Caloundra’s new Library+ is growing with the launch of an exciting fly-through video, offering a first look inside this cutting-edge community space.
Sunshine Coast Council’s Division 2 Councillor Terry Landsberg said this immersive video showcased the state-of-the-art facility and dynamic spaces that would soon become a central hub for Caloundra residents and the wider Sunshine Coast community.
“The new Library+ will be a beacon of modern design and functionality, spread over three levels,” Cr Landsberg said.
“The ground floor will feature an open foyer and event space with tiered seating, kids’ space, an outdoor activity deck, a young adult area, a quiet lounge, a creative space and reading lounge, a kiosk and a customer service centre.
“Level 1 will house a spacious foyer and exhibition space, the main library collections, a makerspace to develop creative projects, digital studios, and meeting rooms. On Level 2, visitors will find another open foyer and large flexible community meeting areas and Council administration offices.
Cr Landsberg said the fly-through video was now available by visiting Council’s website and searching for ‘new Caloundra district library and community space’.
“We also invite the community to visit the current Caloundra Library at 8 Omrah Avenue between November 18 and December 1 to take a 3D tour of the project.
“This interactive experience will allow our community to explore and discover what the repurposed Caloundra Administration Building will look like once the transformation is completed in mid-2025.”
Further details on how the community can access these fantastic spaces and this exciting new community facility will be available in early 2025.
