This exercise gives young people 12-24 years a simple way to share how they experience the Georges River area – the places and services that feel safe, fun, boring, or stressful. The input will help Council understand those experiences so it can better support young people.
Youth Mapping Exercise (interactive map – drop a pin anywhere in the Georges River area, choose a category: I Want, I Wish, or I Wonder, and add a short comment or photo if desired).

Youth Week is an opportunity for young people across NSW to come together in their local communities. Councils, youth organisations and schools work with young people to host activities, events and competitions. Local Councils’ Youth Week activities:

NSW Youth Week website | Promotional resources

Council invites young people 12-24 years to share their favourite events/activities in the Sutherland Shire and what they would like to see more of, where they feel safe, where they go for support and what services they are aware of – feedback will help Council plan youth events, programs and services. Survey closes Thursday, 30 April.
Complete survey

Activities include Youth Festival, Arcade Games, Action Arena, Go-Karting, Ghost Tour, and more.
