Cumberland Council Youth Strategy Survey

Please give us 5 minutes of your time to tell us what you think! If you leave us your email at the end, you will go into the draw to win a $50 Westfield gift voucher.
 
In 2016 over 900 young people in Cumberland were surveyed and told Council that their top 5 priorities are:

  1. Employment
  2. Education
  3. Health & wellbeing
  4. Community connection
  5. Safety
Now, Council needs to know what you want us to do to better support you in these 5 priorities.


Can you take 5 minutes to give us some important information to help us create a Youth Strategy? This information will be de-identified and used by Council to create a plan for young people which reflects the actions. 

The things Council can do and change in your community are: 

  • Activities
  • Events
  • Keeping our environment clean and sustainable (including managing waste)
  • Spaces (footpaths, roads, parks, street lighting)
  • Places (recreational facilities, community/youth centres)
  • Promoting things that are happening in the local area
  • Creating opportunities (space, money, training) for local people to make our community better
  • Libraries
  • Childcare
  • Building development (homes, business CBD)
  • Volunteering
  • Planning for the future
