WITH a re-elected Labor government’s commitment to a new community sport hub in Bellevue, Binar Futures founder Adam Desmond says the organisation can take down barriers of inclusion for young leaders at a larger scale.

The $12.5 million hub is planned for a parcel of state-owned land on the corner of Henkin and Clayton streets.

Mr Desmond said there had been a great need for this type of space for young people in the community.

“If they don’t have things to do, if there’s not something they’re a part of, the likelihood is that they’ll end up being part of the justice system,” he said.

“Any kid that’s kept busy with something positive is far less likely to go off track.”

Binar chair Andrew Vlahov said a lot of time was spent asking young leaders what they wanted out of the sporting hub.

“It’s not something we thought of last week, this is years in the making,” he said.

“So we’re building it hand to glove, based on community needs.”

A unique part of the hub is the digital First Nations Hall of Fame.

“This is not old socks in a glass case that people look at,” Mr Vlahov said.

“This is an experiential interactive one.”

Mr Vlahov said it was not up to Binar to decide who went in the Hall of Fame, it was up to the community.

It could be community leaders, Elders, activists, or academics – not just athletes.

“We want to make sure that there are role models that are displayed and you might connect with,” he said.

“Because you can’t be what you can’t see.”
