Banyule Youth Summit

Thursday 25 May - Heidelberg Golf Club, Main Road Lower Plenty - 1:30pm to 3:30pm
FREE EVENT - BOOKINGS ESSENTIAL

The Summit has fostered connection and participation opportunities for young people since 2014. It provides a valuable opportunity for Council to consult young people and results in action for our community. At the Summit, young people discuss issues that matter to them and propose recommendations for action. You are invited to the final session of the Summit where young people will present a summary of their discussions and propose a series of recommendations. If you are interested in attending, please contact Naomi. There are also some spaces remaining for young people to attend, please let us know if you’d like to nominate a young person or group of young people to get involved!
