A new home for community connections

Our new library and community centre facility at West Lakes offers a place for community connections, with programs, services and community development opportunities for our residents and the wider local community.

The building is known as Ngutungka West Lakes and was officially opened to our community on Saturday 23 April 2022.

Located on Mikawomma Country at 9 Charles Street, West Lakes (just off Turner Drive), Ngutungka is Kaurna for 'place of knowledge'.

The $20 million state of the art facility is one of the cornerstones of the main shopping, dining and lifestyle precinct of Commercial & General's WEST development. The City of Charles Sturt building sits alongside medical, physio, podiatry and other allied health services with a landscape plaza.

The facility is a vibrant, attractive and modern community hub that will enhance the connections and creativity within our community. It is a next-generation, integrated community place that is recognised as a centre of excellence for literacy, learning, innovation and discovery.

“The WEST development is a wonderful drawcard, and our new library and community facility will be an important part of this area in the future,” Mayor Angela Evans said.

“We are also working towards providing our community with access to the Football Park oval with the green space being integral to the vibrant and beautiful place being created here.”

The facility is a key addition to our Charles Sturt Libraries network and our range of community spaces.
