WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

In the early 1980s, the north-western suburbs of Melbourne had a predominantly Mediterranean and Eastern European migrant population. They were attracted to the area by its cheap housing and a strong mixed manufacturing sector.

Community activists became increasingly concerned about youth unemployment. Many manufacturers were closing their doors or moving out of the area and unemployment support systems were changing from City- based to more regionalised services. Growing numbers of unemployed young people were hanging around with nothing to do.

In 1981, the Broadmeadows City Council offered assistance to establish a drop-in centre where young people would feel welcome and comfortable to talk about any problems or issues they had.

A new committee of management was elected at a public meeting at the end of 1984, and in a bid to gain greater community support, the name was changed to ‘Broadmeadows Youth Projects’.

After incorporation was granted on 7 February 1985, the agency became known as Youth Projects Inc.

Not long after incorporation, tragedy struck when a fire all but destroyed the building.

With damage estimated at $400,000 and insurance not enough to fully rebuild and refurbish the centre, all programs were suspended. Premier John Cain launched a public appeal for funds, and with additional support from the centre’s original financial backers, the Youth Projects centre was slowly rebuilt and re-opened by Prince Charles and Princess Diana, who were visiting Australia at the time.
