New Youth Chillout Space in Milingimbi

August 27, 2024

East Arnhem Regional Council is pleased to announce our new 'Youth Chillout Space' in Milingimbi is open.

The newly renovated space inside the Youth, Sport and Recreation Hall at Milingimbi has a great selection of books, games, 3 computer stations, a large TV and lots of comfortable furnishings. The new space has been open for several weeks now, with young people enjoying a range of low energy activities delivered by the East Arnhem Regional Council Youth Sport and Recreation team. We also welcome parents and caregivers to attend the space with their children.

Thanks to WTD Constructions who completed the renovation works and to our Youth Sport and Recreation Coordinator Osiah Dhawaymirr and former Youth Support Coordinator Daniel Hughes for getting the program set up and running.
