Exciting news for young people and their families, with Council endorsing the next step to offer space at the former Avalon Customer Contact Centre to the Avalon Youth Hub to expand its services.

Avalon Youth Hub offers free counselling, case management, mentoring, advice, referrals and general support to young people in Pittwater. A move into the new space will enable an expansion for additional workshops and information sessions to tackle the challenges facing young people and the broader community.

The closure of the Avalon Customer Contact Centre late last year followed an extensive review of the viability of customer service centres. 

Following an Expressions of Interest process, Council endorsed a proposal to enter into a community licence agreement with the Burdekin Association as the auspice of the Avalon Youth Hub.

The Burdekin Association was selected from one of four applications received. As part of the process, applicants had to demonstrate that their use of the facility will increase health and wellbeing of the Northern Beaches community. 

Access to this facility will help Avalon Youth Hub to expand their services at a time when we are seeing an unprecedented rise in mental health conditions, isolation and online bullying.
