The Y acknowledges the recent petition regarding the proposed redevelopment of the Y HQ and recognises the passion and support for the venue, as well as the important role live music plays in creating opportunities and connections for young people.
We encourage anyone interested in the proposed redevelopment to visit the City of Vincent’s website, where detailed information about the Leederville car park redevelopment, including the plans and vision for the area, is publicly available.
The Y has a positive and constructive relationship with the City of Vincent, and we are pleased to share a commitment to supporting young people, strengthening the local community and ensuring live music continues to have a place in the area.
We will continue working closely with the City as the redevelopment progresses, maintaining open conversations and ensuring the interests of young people and the wider music community remain at the forefront of the discussion.
In the meantime, our focus remains on ensuring the Y HQ continues to flourish as Perth’s only dedicated underage live music venue. We will be putting all our energy into creating opportunities for young people to discover music, connect with others and experience the excitement of live performance.
