The first library in Australia to be awarded a 5 Star Green Star rating
The architectural vision for Melton, which was recognised for national and international design excellence, was to deliver a facility that revitalises and re-energises the Melton community. The facility comprises a theatre, lecture rooms, recording and editing studios for use by local education centres. Elegant design and detailing of timber structures were used successfully to achieve an outstanding result. The Melton Library and Learning Hub is the first library in Australia to be awarded a 5 Star Green Star – Public Building Design PILOT rating from the Green Building Council of Australia.
