This council works with student representatives from all the high schools in the Southern Downs and its purpose is to give a voice to young people in our community and provides the students with the opportunity for regular communication about issues of importance to them directly with the Mayor and Councillors.

Our representatives for 2023 are Liam Telfer and Eliza Bonner and Thursday 23 March saw them attend their first official Youth Council Meeting where they met with the Mayor, Cr McDonald and the 2023 Youth Council cohort.
