ONE of the real privileges of serving as a Councillor is working with the City of Greater Geelong’s Youth Council, and I was delighted to meet the 2026 group recently.<\/p>\n

Eleven young people aged between 13 and 17 were formally inducted at City Hall in January, with family, friends and Councillors proudly watching on.<\/p>\n

From that group, Vignesh Ram, aged 15, was elected Junior Mayor, with Bailey Roberts, aged 14, elected as Deputy Junior Mayor.<\/p>\n

Members have already completed a three-day orientation program led by the City in partnership with Youth Leadership Academy Australia.<\/p>\n

During that time, they developed a new charter, identified their key priorities and agreed on a project they will focus on throughout the year.<\/p>\n

What stood out to me was how thoughtfully they approached those conversations.<\/p>\n

Their priorities include protecting our native land, skies and waterways, improving youth health and wellbeing, addressing economic equality and opportunity, and strengthening inclusivity and safety within the community.<\/p>\n

Their priorities guide us about the real issues young people are experiencing in their everyday lives.<\/p>\n

Over the next eleven months, the Youth Councillors will meet monthly to consider matters affecting young people across Greater Geelong.<\/p>\n

At the end of their term, they will present advice and recommendations to Council on how we can improve the experience of growing up in our region.<\/p>\n

Our 2026 Youth Council should feel extremely proud of reaching this point. Selection was competitive, with 26 candidates and almost 2,100 votes cast by students across 17 local schools.<\/p>\n

That level of participation shows just how much young people want to be involved and have their voices heard.<\/p>\n

I have really enjoyed, and been challenged, by my involvement with the Youth Council in 2025.<\/p>\n

Watching the increasing engagement of these bright and articulate young people gives me hope for the future.<\/p>\n

The City officers who support and guide the Youth Councillors do a really wonderful job. They are a big part of the reason that this program continues to be so successful.<\/p>\n

Programs like the Youth Council matter because just as important as the advice they are giving to Council is that this program actively prioritises youth civic engagement.<\/p>\n

This was highlighted recently by the Governor-General of Australia, Her Excellency the Honourable Sam Mostyn AC, when she addressed the Australian Local Government Association’s National General Assembly.<\/p>\n

The Governor General pointed to statistics which show only a quarter of Year 10 students have a working knowledge of civics.<\/p>\n

I find this deeply troubling. When young people don’t understand how our system works, they risk disengagement and disconnection.<\/p>\n

The Governor General has challenged councils to play a stronger role in that work, and the Youth Council is one way the City of Greater Geelong is working to close that gap.<\/p>\n

By giving young people a seat at the table, we help build confidence, understanding and trust in our democratic system and I am deeply committed to this work.<\/p>\n

I look forward to working with the 2026 Youth Council and learning from their perspectives.<\/p>\n

When we listen to young people and act on what they tell us, we build a stronger future for everyone.<\/p>\n
