Inner West Council engaged MGP to complete the hydraulic and fire services design for the upgrade of Haberfield Centre and Library and Mervyn Fletcher Hall.

The upgrade involved installation of a lift, internal ramps within the library and accessible toilets, the interiors and layout was significantly improved, including connectivity and flow between the library and community rooms, improved entry and a new hall-wing. Additions included a new music performance and rehearsal space, kitchen facilities, upgraded landscaping and new services including air-conditioning. Mervin Fletcher Hall will see an upgrade and/or replacement of the roof, windows, doors, floors, internal and external painting, toilet upgrade and ramp at the Ella Centre entrance.

Working closely with the design team, the project was successfully delivered on time, and the new library opened in late 2020.
