Works continue to progress steadily on Stage 1 of the Yarrawonga Library, Events and Performance Precinct.
A key milestone was recently achieved with the installation of the ETFE roof over the library foyer space. This innovative roofing system, made from a lightweight and durable plastic polymer, offers high transparency, excellent insulation, and a low carbon footprint. The multi-layered ETFE “cushion” is pneumatically inflated, providing both structural stability and a striking architectural feature.
The structural framing for the library is now fully installed, allowing the remainder of the roofing works to be completed. The contractor is currently focused on service rough-ins, including electrical, hydraulics, fire, and mechanical systems, as well as the installation of glazing.
Another exciting development is the installation of the signature external arches, which are now in place and add a distinctive visual element to the building’s facade.
Upcoming works will include the completion of service rough-ins and the installation of plasterboard throughout the internal spaces. The project continues to move forward positively, with each milestone bringing the community closer to enjoying this vibrant new precinct.
