Youth

As required under local government legislation, Maitland City Council has formulated a Social Plan for the City.

One of the key areas as part of the plan is youth, young children and families. Other key mandatory groups include people with a disability, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, culturally and linguistically diverse communities and women.

The Maitland Social Compass has established an interagency steering group, as well as interagency and community planning groups to address these specific groups’ strengths and issues.

Community consultation has been a key component. Listening and learning about the opinions and ideas of our youth and young people is important. Video reporting, art works and surveys have been conducted.

If you would like to be involved in any further consultations please contact Council's, Community Planning Co ordinator, mcc@maitland.nsw.gov.au  or 4934 9700.
