Youth Plan
The City has developed its first ever Youth Plan, adopted by Council on Tuesday 22 March, following feedback received from participants at the end of 2021.
With
one in five of the City’s residents aged between 10 and 25, the Youth
Plan provides a clear direction for service delivery, events and
programs for young people for 2021-2026.
The Youth Plan is about making sure young people feel connected with their community and ensuring we offer the kind of events, services and programs they want to see. And with one in five residents aged between 10-25, it’s important that the youth perspective is part of the City’s vision and planning.
In April/May 2021 we asked people aged 10-25 years who live, work, study, play sport or visit the City, as well as their parents and guardians/caregivers to share their thoughts. The draft Youth Plan was then created using this feedback in partnership with the South Perth Youth Network (SPYN) and Youth Advisory Council of Western Australia (YACWA) .
The four key priorities to work on with young people over the next five years:
- Further develop our youth programs and events
- Improve our facilities and places for young people
- Improve our communications and engagement with young people
- Provide opportunities for young people to develop their capacity and skills
Are you between 12 and 25 years old and keen to make some new friends, learn new skills, and make an impact on your local community?
