Wyndham’s young people have the chance to shape the council programs and services that affect them with the biennial Youth Survey now underway.
Young people aged 12-25 are encouraged to share their thoughts and opinions on a range
of topics relating to safety, their interests and mental health among other topics with the
responses providing a snapshot of who young people are in Wyndham, their challenges and
expectations.
The survey aligns with the Council Plan 2021-2025 and the Wyndham 2040 Vision and
to encourage participation, those who take the survey can choose to go in the draw to
win a brand-new PlayStation 5 Slim Digital Edition Console with 2 controllers.
Wyndham mayor Jennie Barrera said council was committed to ensuring that all
young people have the opportunity to participate and engage in the social, economic and
cultural life of the municipality.
“As a council we provide a range of programs from activities during the holidays, battle of
the bands and opportunities for them to develop skills and training,” she said.
“Our City’s population is rapidly growing and nearly 60 per cent of residents are aged below
thirty five and just under half of Wyndham households are families with children, the majority
with children under the age of fifteen. We are continually working with young people, schools and local service providers and organisations to ensure that our vision for young people is cultivated.”
For further information, drop-in sessions will be held at Eagle Stadium, Werribee on Saturday March 2 and AquaPulse, Hoppers Crossing on Wednesday April 3.
