City welcomes new Youth Councillors for two-year term
The City of Greater Bendigo has formally appointed 18 Youth Councillors for the 2021-2022 Youth Council term.
The group was endorsed at last night’s Council meeting and the outgoing councillors were thanked for their contribution.
The Youth Council represents the voice of young people aged 14 to 24 years who live, work and study in Greater Bendigo, and provides the perspective of young people to support Council decision making.
Mayor Cr Jennifer Alden said she looked forward to working with the young cohort.
“I am excited to work with the new Youth Councillors and hear their perspective on a range of local issues. In particular, they will have a key role in shaping Council’s new community vision, Council Plan and other important strategic documents that must be developed before the end of the year. They will also support the review and development of a new Youth Strategy for the City,” Cr Alden said.
