A small thank-you ceremony has been held to honour those who helped renovate the Blacktown Youthlink Centre late last year.
The renovations to the centre, located in Sydney’s west, included a new kitchen, updating the training room and constructing an outdoor covered patio.
Greater West Division Community Relations Director Steve Burfield said the improvements had been greatly received by the Blacktown Youthlink team.
“Everyone who has seen it has really liked the facility and is really happy with it. It certainly creates a great environment for training,” he said.
Greater West Divisional Commander Major Warren Parkinson presented plaques to representatives from Taylor Construction, who provided 50 workers for the project, and Masters Home Improvement, who supplied all the building materials, indoor and outdoor furniture, a high-quality kitchen and appliances.
Active TV, who filmed the entire renovation, were also honoured with a plaque.
“The ceremony was an opportunity for us as a division and a team to say thank-you to those guys for the work they did. While all the renovations were happening it was all very busy, so this was an ideal opportunity to let them come back and let us officially say thank-you,” said Steve.
The $100,000 project was carried out over two days in November last year. A video documenting the project was featured during Channel 7's Carols in the Domain in December.
Territorial Secretary for Business Administration Lieutenant-Colonel Mark Campbell was also a special guest at the ceremony, which included a barbecue.
