New look Redbank Plaza Library ready to dazzle customers
Published on 26 March 2026
The newly refurbished Redbank Plaza Library is now jam packed with new features, more space and an Ipswich Libraries first which are all set to dazzle customers new and returning.
Ipswich Mayor Teresa Harding said the renovations included a new children’s area, bespoke shelving and a “Bub Hub” internet station, an Ipswich Libraries first that allows carers of small children to browse the internet while their child plays safely in an integrated play area.
“These renovations ensure the library is an even more welcoming and useful space for everyone in our community,” Mayor Harding said.
“Families with young children, students dropping in after school, parents studying or working alongside their kids, and older residents attending digital literacy classes will all benefit from these improvements.
“Reopening after a couple months off for renovations, the Redbank Plaza Library will now again offer exciting services, events and workshops including holiday programs like Road Test A Robot and Fold & Fun Origami over the Easter period.
“That’s in addition to all the books, magazines and newspapers on offer, as well as the study spaces, public computers and printing services that are standard across our libraries.
“As Ipswich grows at unprecedented rates, council is committed to providing infrastructure that keeps pace with the times and our growth – and this upgrade does just that.”
Division 3 Councillor Marnie Doyle said the renovations were much needed given the present and future demand of the popular library.
“The Redbank Plaza Library is a treasured community institution with more than 2,800 visits per month on average last year,” Cr Doyle said.
“This will no doubt increase over the coming years, particularly given the growth of Collingwood Park, Goodna, Redbank, Redbank Plains and Bellbird Park.
“I look forward to seeing residents and their families enjoy the new facilities at the renovated Redbank Plaza Library.”
