We've developed a new Youth Strategy that aims to improve the experiences of young people living, working in and visiting Baw Baw Shire.
Throughout June and July, we used a combination of online surveys and in-person sessions to collect lots of different thoughts, ideas and feedback from people aged between 12- and 25-years old living in Baw Baw Shire.
We used all the feedback we gathered as input directly into the draft Youth Strategy, then we made it available for community feedback so you had the chance to see what we'd created and provide any feedback before it was finalised.
This strategy has been endorsed by Council
The final draft of the Youth Strategy 2024-2028 was presented to Council at the Wednesday 6 March 2024 Council Meeting, where it was endorsed for implementation by Council.
