Wyndham City is holding its biennial Youth Survey with the results used to ensure programs and services for young people are meeting their interests and needs.
Young people aged 12-25 are encouraged to share their thoughts and opinions on a range of topics relating to safety, their interests and mental health among other topics with the responses providing a snapshot of who young people are in Wyndham, their challenges and expectations.
To encourage participation, those who take the survey can choose to go in the draw to win a brand-new PlayStation 5 Slim Digital Edition Console with 2 controllers.
The survey aligns with the Council Plan 2021-2025 and the Wyndham 2040 Vision.
Wyndham City Mayor, Cr Jennie Barrera said Council was committed to ensuring that all young people have the opportunity to participate and engage in the social, economic and cultural life of the City.
“As a Council we provide a range of programs from activities during the holidays, battle of the bands and opportunities for them to develop skills and training,” she said.
“Our City’s population is rapidly growing and nearly 60 per cent of residents are aged below thirty five and just under half of Wyndham households are families with children, the majority with children under the age of fifteen.”
“We are continually working with young people, schools and local service providers and organisations to ensure that our vision for young people is cultivated.”
“This vision aims to ‘value young people as vital contributors to community life, providing the opportunities and support that will enable them to realise their full potential as individuals and as active members of the Wyndham community’.”
