The Coomera/Oxenford area is the
fastest growing region of Australia's fastest growing city. Almost
all of the growth predicted to take place on the Gold Coast over
the next decade will be in this corridor. Extensive planning has
been carried out to make sure this growth takes place in an orderly,
disciplined way. However, the unparalleled growth has created an
immediate demand for a focal point for the youth of the area and
the young families who have already made Coomera/ Oxenford their
home.
Social support is needed to make sure that young people have a secure,
well-run and self-sustaining venue for healthy and constructive
sport, leisure and recreational activity. Young people desperately
need a sense of belonging in today's fast-paced and often high-pressured
world. The Oxenford & Coomera Community Youth Centre provides
an important infrastructure to help build community spirit
and to foster strength of character and purpose in this busy suburban
centre of the future.
In time, two or three such centres
will be needed to cater for the demands of young people and the
aspirations of the community. This project is a response to the
challenge to meet these demands as they arise rather than waiting
for a crisis point to be reached.
The youth of Coomera/Oxenford today will be its citizens of the
future. The centre's vision is to ensure the youth of today have
a chance to grow up in an environment that makes them proud of their
homes and families.
The centre first opened its doors on the 27th of
November, 2004, and is located at 25 Oxenford-Tamborine
Road, Oxenford, in Queensland. |
