Central Coast Council is building a new Youth Strategy, and we need your help!
Between August and October 2025, we asked young people aged 12-24, youth sector professionals and interested community members to share what matters to them, and how Council can make the coast even better for young people.
You could get involved by completing the survey or adding a comment to the ideas board below.
Spill the tea!
Pick a category (or multiple!) and share your thoughts and ideas.
😃 I enjoy… what's great about being a young person on the Coast? 😃
🤞 I hope… what do you want to see change or improve? 🤞
✨ I dream of… what ideas do you have to make the Coast even better for young people? ✨
CLOSED. The visioning activity has now concluded. Click to see all the submitted ideas.
