Construction of the new Yankalilla Library started this week and is expected to be completed by the end of June.

The District Council of Yankalilla has appointed Building Solutions SA to construct the purpose-built facility and associated road and carpark upgrades at the current site of 181 Main South Road Yankalilla.

“The journey to build a new Library has been seven years in the making and after much community input, local building designer Harmonic Design has delivered a modern functional design which integrates old and new, celebrating the past and building for the future,” the council says.

Federal Member for Mayo Rebekha Sharkie secured $250,000 of grant funding towards the fit out of the facility. 

“The new library will have improved mobility access, more engaging multi-use spaces and will be fitted out with upgraded technology,” she says.

Images of artist impressions of the library design can be seen on the council website.
