2024 Western Regions Youth Forum - MYAC

On Friday 12 April, the Maribyrnong Youth Advisory Committee participated in the Western Regions Youth Forum. The Forum offers the opportunity for young leaders in the community from 6 Local Government Areas (Maribyrnong, Melton, Hobsons Bay, Moonee Valley, Brimbank and Wyndham) to present on an issue they have identified important within their local community.

MYAC’s chosen issue was Climate Change, they discussed the severe impacts it has on the environment, their homes and their health. Identifying areas of improvements that start in our education system and transportation. After presentations, attendees participated in a round table discussion to find solutions to each issue with Local and State Leaders facilitating conversation. Overall, 46 young leaders came together and advocated for youth voice, representing their communities.

The next steps for MYAC are to work with Council Leaders to deliver on their outcomes. Stay tuned.
