STAFF are busy stacking books on shelves as the new Amherst Village Community Centre in Southern River prepares to open to the public on Tuesday, September 29.
Thousands of books, CDs, DVDs and other materials available for use by the community have been moved in.
Gosnells chief executive Ian Cowie said the Amherst Village Community Centre would cater for people of all ages, providing a place where the community could come together.
“The City of Gosnells is thrilled to provide residents with a state-of-the-art community centre that will have a modern library, function area and somewhere for young people to enjoy themselves,” Mr Cowie said.
“It will be a vital element of an area which is now well established with restaurants, shops, entertainment and services.”
The centre will also have a strong youth focus and the City’s youth services team is busy preparing programs for people aged from 12 to 25.
Young people will have access to computers, a digital film suite, recording studio and recreational equipment such as a pool table, table soccer, table tennis, Wii and an outdoor area with barbecues.
The facility is at the corner of Warton Road and Holmes Street.
