Lift Under Repair
Ultimo Library
In February 2012, for lift access to Ultimo Library please speak to library or community centre staff for assistance.
The Ultimo Community Centre lift had reached the end of its life cycle of 15 years. It was slow, energy consuming and has recorded a large increase in the number of
services calls and breakdowns over the last 12 months. So that this important community facility can remain safe and meet the needs of staff and its users, in
particular, those with a disability, the lift needed to be replaced.
