Banjo’s Skatepark in Terrigal is set to be a hive of activity as the family-friendly Youth Day Out – Summer Sessions event rolls into town on January 22nd.

The free community event will feature youth service provider stalls from organisations such as Regional Youth Support Services (RYSS), along with free skate and scooter lessons, street art, and hip-hop workshops—all designed to engage and support local youth.

This follows Mr Crouch’s recent youth stakeholder roundtable with Central Coast Council, RYSS, and the Brisbane Water Police District held earlier in 2024 which focused on addressing antisocial behaviour through early intervention strategies.

“The Youth Day Out – Summer Sessions is set to be a fantastic day filled with fun activities, music, art, and access to local youth services, providing young people with the support they need,” Mr Crouch said.

“I’m grateful to Central Coast Council for driving this initiative forward following our successful roundtable meeting and it’s fantastic to see this collaborative approach to supporting our young people.”

Mr Crouch said that the event is part of a broader strategy to address a recent spike in antisocial behaviour in Terrigal, particularly during holiday periods.

“Many of our youth face personal struggles and along with their parents, are often unsure where to turn for help. Events like this provide them with a safe space to engage with support services, connect with their peers, and map out a course forward.”

“With the involvement of organisations like Regional Youth Support Services, we can ensure that young people have access to the guidance and resources they need to overcome personal challenges and limit antisocial behaviour in the community.
