The Boyd Community Hub is undergoing a redevelopment to better serve the rapidly growing and diverse Southbank community. The project involves relocating and expanding the Southbank Library into a new 900m²-space within the adjacent Boyd Village building, and refurbishing and enhancing the existing Boyd Community Hub to provide expanded family and children’s services, as well as introducing new spaces and programming for the community.

The new Southbank Library and refurbished Boyd Community Hub will be a key piece of civic infrastructure that supports the needs of Southbank’s growing population.

We want to hear from you to gather feedback on service usage, program mix and accessibility for the new Southbank Library as well as how existing services and enhanced spaces within the Boyd Community Hub can best serve the community – now and into the future.

Have your say

You can share your feedback by:

  • Completing the online survey below.
  • Talking to a City of Melbourne staff member at one of our pop-up information sessions at Boyd Community Hub.

Consultation closes Friday 15 August 2025.
