Community engagement helps us to plan and make better decisions. Here's a quick update on some of the tops we recently sought feedback about.
Access and Inclusion Action Plan 2024-2028
We recently asked for your help to make our region a more accessible, inclusive, and welcoming community by seeking input into the Access and Inclusion Action Plan 2024-28.People with disabilities are a vital part of our Greater Geelong’s community as residents, employees, business owners, artists, volunteers, tourists and visitors.
The Access and Inclusion Action Plan outlines what we’ll do to ensure our services and facilities meet the diverse needs of our residents with disability.
We were thrilled to have many people contributing to the conversation, joining forces with those with disability, their families and carers, service providers and the Access and Inclusion Advisory Committee.
The eventual findings will help us to ensure the full participation of all people in community life.
- Geelong Youth Advisory Council
Thanks to those young people who recently applied to be a part of our 2024 Youth Council.
Applications closed last month, and the successful applicants will soon be announced, forming a 12-person advisory committee that will inform the Council of issues that are of importance to young people.
Youth Council is made up of 12 young people aged between 12 and 17 years old who are passionate about making a difference in the community.
Like the 2023 cohort, the 2024 Youth Council will have three youth representatives from each of the four Council wards: Bellarine, Brownbill, Kardinia and Windermere.
We look forward to the announcement of our 12 successful candidates and await them electing the Junior Mayor and Junior Deputy Mayor from within their group.
