The Oxford road frontage of the new Library Community Centre will look a little like the image below. The new building will incorporate the important historical elements of the School of Arts building and the significant trees in Hallinan Park. The Councillor memorial has been temporarily removed and will be reinstalled in the park once landscaping has commenced.

Demolition has begun

Demolition of the old Ingleburn Library and Community Hall has commenced and is now well underway.

The historic facade of the School of Arts building will be retained, however due to structural reasons much of the roof structure will be removed.
