Youth Strategy Surveys Open 

The City of Ballarat is developing a brand-new Youth Strategy and is looking for help from the young people of Ballarat.   

The new Youth Strategy is being created by a diverse and enthusiastic group of 12 young people who will act as ‘Co-designers’ with City of Ballarat staff.  

These young people are passionate about being involved in their local community, contributing, and representing the views, ideas and needs of young people in the Ballarat area.  

To help formulate the strategy, the City of Ballarat wants to hear directly from the young people of Ballarat to make sure it is delivering the services and support needed.  

Three surveys are now online for the city's youth and broader community to have their say on what matters to them for young people aged 12-25.
