Submissions for the Draft Youth Strategy 2025-2029 have now closed. Thank you for your feedback.
Young people are the future of our city. Council is committed to supporting them to be their best.
Our Youth Strategy provides strategic direction for the delivery of contemporary programs, activities and events that meet the needs of our diverse population of young people.
To implement the plan, Council will work alongside young people, the local youth sector, schools and the community and all levels of government to make living in Lake Mac even better for young people.
Young people make up an active and engaged section of our community and Council must ensure we respect their views and needs so that they may continue to participate in the Lake Macquarie community now and into the future.
Submissions have now closed. Thank you for your feedback.
Your submission can be as concise or as long as you wish
Ideally, you will express your level of support for the proposal and provide detailed and specific feedback. The feedback will be reviewed by staff and later presented to Council to make an informed decision.
Should multiple submissions be received from a single resident regarding this project, the feedback will be reviewed by staff and counted as one submission when reporting back to Council.
Any submission received by Council will be publicly available on Council’s website. Submissions may also be accessed under the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009. Council may reproduce submissions in Council reports or in Court proceedings.
If you have made a reportable political donation or gift in the last two years your submission must be accompanied by a "Disclosure Statement of Political Donations and Gifts where Council is Approval Authority - Submitters" Form. For more information on reportable political donations or gifts, or to download a copy of this form go to lakemac.com.au and search for "Political Donations Submitters". Please note failure to complete a statement, if a Political Donation/Gift has been made, is an offence under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979.
Feedback may result in further changes being made to the Youth Strategy 2025-2029 prior to a report being prepared for Council.
You will be notified again, prior to Council considering the matter, which will include a link to the Council report containing a summary of submissions and how feedback was considered.
