Following the recent completion of the new multi million dollar youth space on the corner of Gilmore Avenue and Darius Road in Kwinana, 'The Zone' has now officially opened its doors to the public.

The Zone is a purpose built, two storey youth space catering for the young people in Kwinana between the ages of 12 and 24 years. The facility offers a large range of youth oriented programs, workshops, events and activities, as well as housing a team of youth workers and various other applicable service providers.

Featuring a multipurpose sports stadium, multimedia facilities, an art area and music rehearsal/performance spaces, the building is a youth friendly, safe place where young people can develop new skills, enhance existing abilities and socialise with peers.

The facility is home to a variety of practical and helpful information and support, a setting where young people can link in with positive services, as well as a social hub in which to relax or play games.

Please note that public and community bookings will open in December.

Summer fire safety   

Fire Notices have now been issued to all homes and fire breaks are due by 30 November. It is extremely important that residents comply with fire notices; to avoid penalties but more importantly to protect your home, your family and your neighbours, from the threat of bushfires.

All residents should evaluate their bushfire preparedness, especially those in rural areas. Our website provides information on emergency preparations:
