The Tocumwal Library renovations are nearing completion and, as part of the works, the library entrance has been relocated around the corner to the CWA Park side of the building.
It provided improved accessibility for people using mobility aids, wheelchairs and prams.
Signage and a bench will be installed in front of the former entrance, to help reinforce the new access arrangements.
The existing external library toilets have now been demolished as part of the renovations, however there is still an accessible toilet facility within the library.
To improve accessibility and community services, two new accessible public toilets will be installed adjacent the accessible playground. Construction will start soon.
