Young people and their family and friends are invited to share their ideas on how the popular Youth Precinct located on the City Centre Foreshore could be redeveloped.
Since the Youth Precinct opened in 2016, the sun, salt, sand and wind have taken their toll on the equipment and nearly half has been removed with more equipment soon to reach its end of life.
Instead of replacing the equipment in the space, the City of Greater Geraldton is considering redeveloping it into a modern hub that features exciting opportunities and activities for young people.
City of Greater Geraldton Mayor Jerry Clune is encouraging locals to provide innovative ideas on how the space could look and what to include in a new masterplan for the area.
“I’d like to invite young people, their family members and their friends to share with us what types of activities could be included in the redevelopment,” he said.
“We’d also like to know if there is enough shade and sheltered areas in the area for people to relax and chat?
“Or if any of the equipment that remains in the space still meets the needs of young people?
“There are a lot of options to consider and with your ideas we can create a space that resonates with the interests and aspirations of the young people of Geraldton,” he added.
Community feedback will be used to create a masterplan for the precinct which will inform Council’s decision making regarding the redevelopment of the space.
Share your ideas with the City and you can go into the draw to win a $100 Buy Local Greater Geraldton Gift Card.
