Young people across the surf coast can have a say on what is important to them within the region.
Surf Coast Shire Council has called on people aged between 10 and 25 to help develop a new Youth Action Plan.
Councillor Rebecca Bourke said she looked forward to hearing young people’s views, ideas, and issues to help guide the work in the action plan.
“The plan will help us support young people as they grow and address the issues affecting them where we can,” she said.
“Being a teen today is unlike any other time in history and it’s important we understand young people’s interests and the issues affecting them.”
Cr Bourke said she encouraged people to share their opinions on the plan by taking five minutes to complete the survey.
“Our youth team will be visiting schools and encouraging young people to fill out the survey,” she said.
“We’d love it if parents could do the same, as these answers matter and will be used to guide our Youth Action Plan for the next four years.”
The Youth Action Plan will set priorities for council’s work with young people and cover topics like health and wellbeing, connection, learning, safety and inclusion.
Three surveys related to the action plan are available within the age categories of 10 to 13 years old, 14 to 17 years old and 18 to 25 years old.
