Boyd Community Hub set for biggest transformation yet

Key points

• Melbourne councillors have backed final designs that will greatly expand community space at the Boyd Community Hub in Southbank. The Future Melbourne Committee approved the concept on October 6.
• The former library space will become a 190-square-metre community hall for up to 100 people, with a community kitchen. Community space will grow to 452 square metres, an increase of 248 per cent, once the new Southbank Library opens in late 2026.
• The $4.6 million refurbishment is due to begin in mid-2027.
