Hervey Bay Community Hub
A new place for community connection, learning and support
The Hervey Bay Community Hub will be a major new facility on the Fraser Coast, bringing together a modern library, Council services, community spaces and a Disaster Resilience Centre in one central location.
Located on the corner of Torquay Road and Main Street, the Hub will create a welcoming place for residents, visitors and community groups to connect, learn and access services.
More information about the Hub and its opening will be shared as the project progresses.

Project progress
Project status: Construction underway
Expected completion: Second half of 2026
Updates will be shared as more details become available.
Parking
The Hub will include a basement car park for visitors and users, with additional on-street parking available nearby.
Council has already added more parking in the city centre, including a 170-bay car park near the current library and PCYC.
Parking will continue to be monitored once the Hub opens, and adjustments will be considered if needed.
Flood safety
The building has been designed with flood resilience in mind.
Based on Council’s flood modelling, the ground floor sits above a one-in-500-year flood level.
During construction, the basement experienced flooding during an extreme rain event while works were incomplete.
The completed building will meet all current planning and engineering standards for flood resilience.
Stay informed
As the project progresses, more information will be shared about the Hub, including opening timeframes and community events.
