Youth
Mount Barker District Council values the young people in our community. Through Council's commitment, we will provide opportunities for our young people to thrive in their community.
The Council is developing an action plan for Children and Young People Plan, specifically to:
- Work with and support community groups and sporting clubs to be youth friendly,
- Advocate for the needs and interests of young people,
- Consider the ideas of young people to make community events more appealing and relevant,
- Create opportunities to provide youth activities, events and programs that are low or no cost across the district,
- Support for 'youth at risk' programs to ensure they are relevant and effective, and
- Seek opportunities to provide free Wi-Fi within community and public spaces.
