Speaker at a youth summit

In May 2025 we welcomed 100 young people for the Banyule Youth Summit.

Hosted by our Youth Services team, this biennial event gives young people a platform to speak on issues they are passionate about and to be a part of making positive change in their community.

Key topics included:

  • youth employment
  • mental health
  • the environment
  • community safety
  • physical health and recreation.

It was a busy day, as young people worked together to develop thoughtful recommendations to us, for example free first aid training and information sessions on mental health services available to young people.

We will now work with young people to bring these ideas to life.

Thank you to everyone who helped make it such an inspiring summit.

View the recommendations and outcomes.
