KINGSTON Council is drafting a new “Youth Strategy” to shape its future priorities for young residents.
The first stage of consultation on the policy has begun. Kingston mayor Georgina Oxley said “young people are a huge part of our community, and we know that supporting wellbeing means more than just the basics. Their ideas, experiences and hopes for the future are vital.”
“Council plays a key role in connecting people to social, educational, cultural, health and leisure opportunities that help them feel supported, included and confident about their future. This consultation is our opportunity to hear directly from the community about what’s working, what’s missing and how council can best support, empower and advocate for young people across Kingston,” Cr Oxley said. “This is a chance for young people and those who support them to help shape what comes next. We’d love as many people as possible to get involved.”
