The community has an extra five days to have their say in Geelong council’s Youth Survey.
The City of Greater Geelong has extended the community consultation period for the survey from Tuesday, May 13 to Sunday, May 18.
The survey, which has already received feedback from 2000 participants, takes about five minutes to complete.
The data gathered from the survey will be used to guide the City’s policies and actions on youth wellbeing, education, employment, leisure and safety.
People aged 12 to 25, parents, carers, people who work with young people and interested community members are all invited to participate.
Young people who contribute to the survey will go into the draw to win prizes such as a Nintendo Switch or a $100 Westfield voucher.
Greater Geelong mayor Stretch Kontelj said there was still time to have your say and enter the competition.
“A big thank you to the community members who have taken the time to contribute to our Geelong Youth Survey,” Mayor Kontelj said.
“The more responses we receive, either online or in person, the clearer the picture we will have about the experience of growing up in Geelong.
“This will mean we can better tailor programs, events, and opportunities young people would like to see from Council.”
Youth Council junior mayor Ayush Singh encouraged young people to get involved.
“It’s awesome to see people my own age be able to participate in advancing Greater Geelong to help the youth more effectively, as well as potentially earn some great prizes at the same time,” Junior Mayor Singh said.
“The Youth Council is looking forward to using the information collected from the surveys to better support the young community.”
