Construction of the new Yankalilla Library will soon begin, adding an extension onto the building known as ‘the centre’, located at 181 Main South Road Yankalilla.

Throughout the process to develop the new Library there has been discussions about an appropriate name for the combine building and what the signage will look like.

Will it be named the ‘Youth Centre and Library’ or does it remain ‘the Centre and Library’ or is there a new name such as ‘Community Hub and Library’ or something completely different?

Feedback has indicated that the name of ‘Youth Centre’ negates the fact that although youth will be given priority, the building will be used by many community members and groups.

We have also received feedback in the past the name ‘the centre’ is confusing and not unique.

What’s not negotiable?

The name of the actual Library will remain the ‘Yankalilla Library’, we are looking for a name for the building, not to rename the Yankalilla Library.

How do I submit a name?

We seek your ideas of what you would like the new combined building to be named.

Please use the below ideas board to put forward your name suggestion and tell us why you suggest that name. You can also show support names already suggested by clicking the heart on the names you like.

How will the final name be chosen?

All the name suggestions will be presented to the Elected Members for consideration. They will decide upon the final name ensuring it is appropriate and fits with the criteria set out in our Road Naming Policy (Section 4.3. Names of Roads and Public Places). The idea with the most likes will not necessarily be the name chosen but it will give the Elected Members an indication of which names the community likes. The final decision will be Councils’.
