Boya Community Centre is home to the new Katharine Susannah Prichard Library, as well as 300sqm community space to replace Boya and Greenmount halls.
The early visitors received a commemorative bookmark, book bags and a chance to enter competitions.
Cr Lavell said the community space with a commercial kitchen was available for hire for weddings, functions and regular bookings.
“The space can cater for up to 200 people, with the room able to be divided into two for smaller events,” he said.
