Help shape Kingston’s new Youth Strategy

Published on 06 February 2026

The City of Kingston is calling on the community to help shape a new Youth Strategy that will guide how we support young people into the future.

This is the first stage of consultation, and it’s all about listening — to young people, families, schools, service providers and anyone who cares about ensuring young people in Kingston feel supported, included and confident.

The Youth Strategy will help set priorities for Kingston Youth Services, including future programs, services, advocacy and opportunities.

Mayor Georgina Oxley said Council is committed to ensuring young people have a strong voice in decisions that affect them.

“Young people are a huge part of our community, and we know that supporting wellbeing means more than just the basics. Their ideas, experiences and hopes for the future are vital,” Cr Oxley said.

“Council plays a key role in connecting people to social, educational, cultural, health and leisure opportunities that help them feel supported, included and confident about their future.

“This consultation is our opportunity to hear directly from the community about what’s working, what’s missing and how Council can best support, empower and advocate for young people across Kingston.”

Community members can share their ideas by completing an online survey, with everyone who participates going into the draw to win one of seven $100 Visa gift cards.

“This is a chance for young people and those who support them to help shape what comes next,” Cr Oxley said. “We’d love as many people as possible to get involved.”
