The first stage of construction will culminate in the completion of the building perimeter and Bowling Alley installation, the western toilets, 65 external car parks and a kiosk. The lounge area will also be completed. We anticipate completion of Stage 1 building works by the end of 2009 if the current plan for progressive fundraising is maintained and enables the construction work to continue.

Persistence and belief in the local youth has paid off for Ulladulla’s Gayle Dunn. “In 2002, two Ulladulla lives were lost in the Bali bombing along with 200 other lives”, Federal member for Gilmore Joanna Gash said.

“Gayle Dunn’s vision of a memorial has finally been realised with a $550,000 grant from the Federal Regional Partnerships Program for the Dunn and Lewis Youth Development Memorial Complex.

These funds will assist with the cost of construction and fit out for the new centre. It will be a permanent memorial for those who lost their life's in the Bali bombings.

Gayle Dunn's drive, determination and community spirit has made this happen along with the support from Craig and Danny mates and those around her.

The centre will be recognised by people across Australia and Internationally and will represent the loss of innocence suffered by our Country from Terrorist.
