About the location
The Waterfront Centre is a Council-owned site located on the foreshore of the Town Centre. The new building is a prime location overlooking the boat harbour, marina and boardwalk and a short stroll to the shopping and dining precinct.
When built, The Waterfront Centre will be co-located with a community centre and visitor centre.
Shell Cove library part of a bigger plan
The Libraries and Museum Strategy identified that a larger library would be required to adequately service the needs of the growing communities in Shellharbour Village, Shell Cove and surrounding areas.
The Library will replace the existing small library in Shellharbour Village.
We will be working with our customers during the transition period to the new library. Not only do our libraries have a physical presence, we have Home Library Service or you can access our digital collection online 24/7.
