        • Description
        • The Green Square Town Centre Library and Green Square Plaza will be a new community and cultural hub for the suburbs of Rosebery, Zetland, Beaconsfield, Waterloo and Alexandria, and the centrepiece of the developing Green Square Town Centre. This is an exciting opportunity to make your mark on this new neighbourhood, where residents and workers will connect through local events, shops and cafés, plazas and parks, and where buildings will be linked to a ground-breaking low-carbon energy system.

          Our multi-award-winning Surry Hills Library and Community Centre has set high benchmarks in civic building design and sustainability ratings and, since opening in 2010, has become a lively centre of Surry Hills village life. We see our libraries as community living rooms – creative and welcoming places to find your favourite books, curl up with the newspaper, catch up on work or study, or meet with friends at an event.
