Council remains upbeat about the city's new library despite recent heavy weather taking a toll on the project's timeline.
Progress on the work site was severely hampered throughout July with Broken Hill notching a 20-year record for rainfall during the month.
Council's General Manager Jay Nankivell said everyone involved in the project remained positive despite weather-related setbacks.
"The weather obviously hasn't been great for construction recently, but I definitely don't want to complain about the city getting some welcome rain," he said.
"We also lost quite a few days through the summer months due to extreme heat and others due to high winds, but you can't control the weather so you just have to accept it and move on.
"And at the end of the day if our biggest complaint to date for a project of this size is some lost time due to weather, then I'd say we've been pretty fortunate."
Mr Nankivell predicted the new library would be completed in the final quarter of the 2025 year.
"We're currently scheduled for late November, but construction could quite easily carry into December given all the variables involved and what we have experienced to date with the weather.
"We probably don't have to sweat as much on the timeline or a hard completion date due to the temporary library at the Admin Building proving so successful over the past 18 months, so we're pretty fortunate in that regard.
"But by the same token we're very keen to see it finished as soon as possible and make the new facility available for the public."
Councillors, Council's Executive, and media all took a tour of the construction site this week, and met with project architects and Directors of Neeson Murcutt Neille, Stephen Neille and Tamas Jones.
"It was great for the Councillors to spend that time with Stephen and Tamas and discuss the build, their ability to convey their knowledge and understanding of the project is really valuable.
"I think all staff and Councillors were probably taken aback a bit by the sheer scale of the project when they stepped inside the construction site - it really is a massive structure.
"It's going to provide so many amenities for library users and the wider community, and it's very exciting to see it all coming together after so many years."
