During National Youth Week 2009, a youth forum was held in Smithton, to identify what the young people of Circular Head value and what they would like to see happen in their community.
The issue of having a place for young people to go, a 'Youth Space' is one which was overwhelmingly seen as the top priority for our youth, with bonding between schools also being seen as very important.
A committee was established with representation from the secondary schools, the Smithton Christian Fellowship, Circular Head Council and Rural Health Tasmania with the aim of opening a youth centre at the venue previously known as 'the cliff' in second term.
The Seven Up Youth Centre’s trial period ended on 30 October 2010. Since the trial period the community have successfully received funding each year for a co-ordinator, to keep the centre open. For information on opening days/hours and activities please visit the Seven Up Smithton Facebook page.
