Wyndham City’s Youth Resource Centre will be temporarily closing for six weeks from 13 June to end of July for refurbishment works.
All program and activities at the Youth Resource Centre will be relocated to other sites for the duration of the works as there will be no physical access to YRC during this time.
Wyndham City will partner with the State Government to jointly contribute to funding the refurbishment of the Youth Resource Centre.
Wyndham City Council is contributing $143,000 and the State Government are contributing $150,000 towards the refurbishment of the Youth Resource Centre.
The State Government recently awarded the funding through the Youth Hubs Grant Program to Wyndham City’s Youth Resource Centre to refresh and update safe spaces for youth including the quiet room, multipurpose room, consulting room, the foyer, upgrading the kitchens to commercial facilities, the flooring, improved lighting and new furniture inspired by indigenous artwork.
Mayor Cr Susan McIntyre said: “When completed the Youth Resource Centre will be fabulous for Wyndham’s young people with a refreshed and revitalised centre providing greater access to the Youth Hub.”
“Wyndham’s Youth Resource Centre plays an important role in Wyndham, and we are pleased young people will have access to updated and modern fit-for-purpose facilities.”
