Made up of local residents aged 14 to 18, the collective helps the council with planning and delivering youth-focused events and activities in the Shire, and also discusses issues and advises the council on matters afftecting young people. The council is promoting the collective as a way for young people to make a difference in their community, with members helping deliver events including SportDaze and Youthchella last year. Meeting will be held fortnightly at the Lot 208 Youth Inc building in Australind starting from April 26, with the potential for meetings to also be held in Harvey depending on interest. Nominees will be interviewed by Shire staff prior to their appointment by chief executive Annie Riordan. All members must abide a code of conduct decided at the start of their 12-month term.
