Townsville Youth Foyer is Now Open!
Paynters is proud to have delivered the design and construction of the Townsville Youth Foyer for the Department of Housing, Local Government, Planning and Public Works. This brand new 40-bed housing facility, located adjacent to the Pimlico TAFE campus, will provide safe and affordable housing for young people aged 16–25.
With the official opening last week, it was a pleasure to be in attendance alongside Premier Steven Miles, Minister for Housing Meaghan Scanlon MP, Mission Australia’s CEO Sharon Callister, and Foyer Foundation’s CEO Liz Cameron.
The Townsville Youth Foyer goes beyond basic housing by offering flexible shared living spaces and comprehensive support services, including 24/7 on-site mentoring from Mission Australia, to help young Queenslander’s transition to independent living.
We take great pride in the role of delivering safe and affordable housing to support young people – and look forward to seeing the development of more youth foyers across the state.
