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. The draft strategy was out for consultation for 30 days in October.
