Our South Burnett Regional Youth Council will help to shape the future of the South Burnett.
The Youth Council is a group of up to 20 young people aged between 14 and 24 years old who meet regularly to discuss youth issues, help organise youth and community events, take part in leadership forums and self-development activities.
The Youth Council has input into Council decisions and are appointed to a one-year term.
Youth Council members are empowered to:
- Talk to other young people to find out what important issues they are facing;
- Provide advice to Council to ensure young people’s voices are heard;
- Create and organise youth community events and initiatives to make our young people feel safe,supported, and engaged; and
- Work with other community groups to make our community a great place to be for everyone who lives here.
