Work to repair the Chifley Library roof has commenced again for 2023. Regular updates will continue to be provided here for the duration of this project.  

 Update on work  

• A large crane was onsite on Saturday 13 January – it weighed 250t and had over a 90m reach. This event went well, and many packs of materials were loaded. 
   
• A significant portion of the metal roofing (around 70%) has been completed. The Western gable end is left. 

• An environmentalist has taken samples of the carpet on Level 4 to assist with the scope for carpet replacement. 

• The temporary parenting room wall and door has been installed. Loose items such as a fridge, sign, microwave, and change table will be delivered shortly. 

Upcoming work  

• Discussions are taking place to discuss adding an additional loading bay above Joplin Lane to assist with construction for the far side of the building.

• ​A redundant mechanical unit will be replaced. Hazmat testing of the ductwork for the unit is about to be completed.

Access to Chifley Level 4   

Level 4 of Chifley has been blocked off for safety purposes and will remain inaccessible throughout the construction period. If you require resources from Level 4, please submit a retrieval request. 

Thank you for your patience during this process.   

Please get in touch with Library staff if you have any questions or concerns.
