The Youth Action Plan is a roadmap for how Council will:

• Support young people in Frankston City
• Deliver youth programs and activities
• Work with community groups and services
• Advocate for young people on important issues

It's about making sure young people's voices are part of decision making - not just now, but into the future.

Because you know what it's like to be a young person in Frankston City - and your experience matters.

Getting involved means you can:

• Share what's working well (and what isn't)
• Talk about the issues affecting young people
• Help decide what should be prioritised
• Influence the actions Council takes from 2027-2031

You don't need any special knowledge or experience. Just your honest thoughts.

You can get involved if you are:

• Aged 12-24
• Living, studying, working or spending time in Frankston City

Adults, parents, carers and community members can also share feedback - but this Plan is centred on young people's voices.

We're designing this engagement with young people in mind.

That means:

• The engagement runs for 6 weeks so there's time to get involved
• Activities are short, simple and accessible
• You don't have to read long reports - we'll give you the key info
• We'll track who's taking part and do more outreach if needed
• You can take part online or in person

We'll report back to the community by:

• Sharing a summary of what we heard within 4 weeks of the engagement closing
• Explaining how your feedback influenced the final Plan
• Updating the community once the Plan is adopted by Council
• Sharing updates during the life of the Plan

We're committed to closing the loop.
