Logan is getting its first dedicated Youth Centre in Logan Central! The new Youth Centre will be a place for Logan’s youth between the ages of 12 and 24 years to meet, engage and participate in a wide variety of activities, that are not just sport related. The facility will provide a safe, welcoming, vibrant, and well used space that responds to the needs and interests of Logan’s youth.
The intent is that the facility will complement (not duplicate) exiting services and facilities within the area and the City and integrate with the Logan Central Library.
The facility design features a ‘hang-out’ zone, indoor multi-purpose court, quiet room, rehearsal studio, dedicated First Nations space, multi-purpose area, creative maker space, technology space, commercial kitchen, laundry and amenities.

Current status
Council held workshops with Logan’s youth to identify needs and spaces that should go in the Youth Centre. Some of the youth then worked with Council and design consultants to co-design the space.
Construction started on the youth centre at the end of 2023 and internal construction should be completed by July 2024 followed by some external works and internal finishes in July and August.

Management of the Youth Centre

The Wilbur Street Youth Centre will be offered by lease by way of tender and will be advertised through Tenderlink. Any organisations that might be interested in operating the facility should register with Tenderlink at Logan City Council - Registration (tenderlink.com). Registration with Tenderlink is free.
