The 1,208m2 building features high raked ceilings with the full curtain wall glazing framing the external views of an existing 100 year gum tree, Charles and Motte Rogers Park and commissioned public art installations. With the council and library administration at the rear of the ground floor level, all ability access is provided through an internal ramp providing residents operable walled community meeting room facilities supported by modern voice and video technology on the second level.
Externally the building is accentuated with curved colourbond screen which serves to protect the building from the morning sun. Large scale tiered concrete seating, connecting pathways and public art space have been provided as a community space for events throughout the year
