This building forms the first stage of a Youth Hall development which is part of a greater complex - THE WALIPIRI REGIONAL YOUTH DEVELOPMENT CENTRE. WYDAC will serve to assist in proactive youth development across the Walipiri Aboriginal Nation which occupies the NW sector of the Northern Territory of Australia. Stage 2 in 2010 will see a commercial kitchen, training rooms and seating podiums developed on the Southern end and stage 3 will entail the performance stage and backstage facilities constructed on the North side.
