Youth Plan 2024 - 2030
Our Journey, Our Future
Campbelltown City Council defines ‘young people’ as individuals aged between 12 and 24 years who live, work or study in the Campbelltown Local Government Area (LGA).
We want to ensure that young people living across our LGA are connected to community and feel valued, supported and empowered to lead fulfilling lives. Young people are valuable members of our community and the way we embrace, reflect and recognise their contribution will influence the future direction of our city.
Campbelltown LGA is home to almost 30,000 young people, representing approximately 17% of the total LGA population. As Campbelltown is one of the fastest growing urban areas in Australia, the youth population is set to more than double over the next 10 years.
To accommodate this growth we need a Youth Plan to support local young people and to drive improvements in the experiences of living as a young person in the LGA.
The 2024-2030 Youth Plan(PDF, 10MB) was co-written and designed with youth representatives who volunteered their time and efforts to ensure that young people are supported by Council to be mentally, physically and socially connected.
Why A Youth Plan?
The Plan provides the strategic direction to 2030 for the delivery of contemporary youth services, programs, activities and events that meet the needs of a diverse population. It is a plan for Council to work alongside the local youth sector, schools, young people and the community to make the Campbelltown LGA an even better place.
