Sunshine Coast Council
Sunshine Coast Council’s very first Youth Council has been formed with the diverse group’s inaugural meeting kicking off this month (23 June) at Bokarina.
Fifteen members make up the Youth Council and come from many areas of the region, including Caloundra, Maroochydore, Buderim, Mapleton and Marcoola, while representing diverse interests such as mental health, human rights, justice and the environment.
Sunshine Coast Council Community Portfolio Councillor David Law said he was proud to see strong interest in the two-year program.
“The purpose of the Youth Council is to educate participants about local government and, importantly, provide an opportunity for its members to advocate for projects and issues that are meaningful for our region,” Cr Law said.
