About the Strategy

The Shire's Council Plan 2024-2034 places young people at the heart of building sustainable communities and recognises the vital role they play. This Strategy directly supports the Council Plan outcome of a safe and healthy community and an inclusive, engaged and supportive community.

Adopted by Council in October 2024, the Shire's Youth Informing Strategy outlines key priorities and future services to uplift the health and wellbeing of young people. This document is a practical guide for Council, Shire employees and community stakeholders, providing insight into what matters most to young people and supporting initiatives that foster their wellbeing and access to community resources.

The Strategy’s development involved extensive consultation with 264 young people aged 12 to 25, 51 parents and caregivers, 10 organisations and stakeholders as well as council members, Shire employees and the broader community.

The Strategy identifies four key focus areas:

  • Engagement and communication
  • Places and activities
  • Health and wellbeing
  • Connection and belonging

The Strategy aims to empower and engage our youth in shaping a vibrant and resilient future for all.
