Extended library hours a great success
Cumberland Council has extended the opening hours of Wentworthville Library as a result of feedback collected as part of the development of the 2018 - 2021 Cumberland Library Strategy.
Mayor Greg Cummings said Wentworthville library is our third busiest in the LGA reflecting the growing population in the community. The community was asking for extra hours to be able to make the most of the resources and programs on offer, and Council were happy to deliver and align opening times with our other busy libraries.

Demolition has begun at Granville Park
A new multi-use community sports pavilion at Granville Park, Merrylands,
is a step closer to becoming a reality with demolition works beginning at the site.
In January the NSW Government announced that Cumberland Council had been successful in securing a $2.74 million grant for the facility.
The design of the new facility is currently being completed.
The upgrade will include grandstand seating for 1500, change rooms, kiosk, referee and medical rooms, a gym, office and social function space. In addition, the field will be resurfaced with upgrades to lighting, fencing and irrigation.
