Overview
The Hervey Bay City Centre Community Hub project is a major $108.7 million development aimed at revitalising the city centre. It includes a five-story building on the corner of Main Street and Torquay Road in Pialba, Hervey Bay, featuring several key components:
Disaster Resilience Centre: A state-of-the-art facility designed to enhance the area’s preparedness for emergencies.
Expanded Library: A two-level modern library for community learning and engagement.
Public Plaza: An outdoor space for socialising and community events.
Flexible Community Spaces: These areas can be used for meetings and events, catering to a variety of needs.
More than 75% of the development is dedicated to community space, making it a central hub for learning, social interaction, and accessing council services. The construction, which began in early 2024, is expected to be completed by mid-2026.
Additionally, the project will feature a basement car park with 68 spaces and aims to boost local employment by engaging regional contractors and suppliers throughout the construction process.
GSG Laboratories Hervey Bay team is proudly delivering a comprehensive suite of testing services for the Hervey Bay City Centre Community Hub, working alongside main contractor, Hansen Yuncken and several other local contractors. Our team’s contributions include drilling, water sampling, level one and compaction testing, proof rolling, DCP testing, and trench backfill testing. These efforts ensure that the project meets critical safety, environmental, and structural standards, supporting the successful development of the new community hub.
