Youth Services and Facilities

Armadale Youth Activity Area

Armadale is in the midst of significant developmental and population expansion. There is extensive support for increased youth facilities in the region, particularly a centrally located Youth Activities Area. The City of Armadale's Youth Plan reflects Council's commitment to young people and supports the Youth Precinct Study in determining the practicability, achievability and sustainability of a centrally located Youth Activity Area in Armadale.

The Youth Activities Area is an on going project and there is growing support to see it come to fruition. Currently a suitable location is being researched.  The project has been endorsed by Council and outside financial funding applications have and are being sought. The City has approved in principle around one third of the funds required and the Outer metropolitan Community Fund has also contributed a significant amount to the project.

The City of Armadale's Youth Advisory Committee has long been advocating for a centrally located Youth Activities Area in Armadale. The committee is of the belief that it is vital to have the facility in a central location to create optimum access for young people, enable proximity to support services such as food outlets, amenities, public toilets and transport, and allow for passive surveillance.
