Award-winning architects Welsh + Major have unveiled the design for the upcoming Seven Hills Community Hub, a $35.8 million project by Blacktown City Council.
February 28th, 2025
Located at Boomerang Place near Seven Hills Station, the Seven Hills Community Hub will serve as a central community space, featuring a permanent library, study areas, meeting rooms and creative facilities.
Chris Major, Principal Architect at Welsh and Major, emphasises the studio’s vision for a functional yet inviting space: “We are delighted to collaborate with Blacktown City Council on this project. Our design will ensure the Hub is not just functional but a joyful and welcoming place, fostering learning, creativity and community spirit.”
Suggested: A state-of-the-art veterinary facility by Gardiner Architects
The state-of-the-art two-storey facility will include a multi-use function room for up to 250 people, a recording studio, and modern amenities. A key highlight is the Betty Malthus Library, named after the former Chief Librarian of Blacktown City.
The Hub is part of the NSW Government’s Western Sydney Infrastructure Grants program, aimed at revitalizing the area with improved public spaces and facilities. Blacktown City Mayor Brad Bunting described it as “more than just a building, it’s more than just a library, it’s a long-term investment in our community.”
Community members are invited to preview the architectural design at upcoming public sessions on February 15 and 20 at Seven Hills Station.
