The Youth Advisory Group (YAG) plays a vital role in shaping Council services, projects and activities to better reflect the needs and aspirations of young people in our community.
Through active participation, the group:
- influences planning and decision-making to ensure youth perspectives are considered in Council initiatives
- supports meaningful engagement between Council and the wider youth community during consultation processes
- amplifies youth voices in local democracy, encouraging active involvement in civic life
- strengthens Council’s responsiveness to the evolving needs of young people across the District.
By working collaboratively with Council, the Youth Advisory Group helps create a more inclusive, youth-friendly future for our community.
