Nov 22, 2024, 08:21 AM

Work will soon begin on the Dalyellup multipurpose community and youth centre project in what will become a valuable local asset made possible by a $9 million investment by the WA Government.

This funding includes a Lotterywest grant of $1.9 million and a $2.9 million contribution from the Shire of Capel.

The project features:

  • a multifunctional library and technology hub
  • a youth space including a digital hub space and media facilities
  • small performance spaces
  • activity and business start-up rooms
  • a senior citizens club space.

The community and youth centre will provide significant social and economic benefits to residents, as well as supporting the regional economy by creating about 25 full-time construction jobs.

The $13.86 million project, due for completion in December 2026, forms the second stage of a wider Dalyellup District Centre development that includes other community facilities such as a skate park.
