Level Up YOUth.

Throughout 2025 we've worked with young people in the community to create a new Youth Strategy – Level Up Youth for Wangaratta and surrounds.

The strategy was developed from the input of over 800 responses to our What YOUth WANT census and guidance from the co-design group made up of five local young people.

Read the strategy here.

Feedback on the Draft Youth Strategy – Level Up Youth is now closed, with feedback being reviewed and the final report being prepared.

For more information on submissions to this project, and how they could be shared, please view our Privacy Statement.
