Youth support services to be expanded under Liberals

Liberal candidate for Robertson Ms Lucy Wicks announced yesterday, Sunday, March 9, that a Federal Liberal Government would provide $1 million more to the Regional Youth Support Service to enable it to expand its outreach activities to Umina and on the Peninsula.

The extra $1,011,350 for the Gosford Youth Hub would "bring the total funding for the program to $2 million following the announcement of the $988,650 grant from the Australian Government last week", she said.

"This will expand the program to deliver services to youth aged from 10 to 25 and enable the service to deliver engagement outreach activities to Terrigal and Kincumber and to Umina and the Peninsula."

She said a Liberal Government would also provide up to $800,000 for the Central Coast Council for the upgrade and operation of CCTV networks over a four-year period.

"This funding would mean people would feel safe in their community as they go about their lives," Ms Wicks said.

"Investing in youth groups and support organisations that play a critical role in our community will help to keep young people off the path of crime and reduce recidivism.

"This funding will help deliver vital early intervention programs for high-risk youth and improve security around community spaces.

"Our community is fed up with crime.

"Countless locals have told me stories of break-ins that have scarred this community.

"This community deserves better, and I will fight every day for the safety and security of our community."
