The Clutha District Youth Council is made up of two representatives from each of the district's five secondary schools - Blue Mountain College (Tapanui), Catlins Area School (Owaka), Lawrence Area School, South Otago High School (Balclutha), and Tokomairiro High School (Milton) - plus two young people from the workforce, and two councillors.

The Youth Council has been set up as a standing committee of the full Council, which will enable its views to be regularly heard at the full Council table. Objectives of the Youth Council are:

• To encourage youth involvement in the planning and development of Council services
• To provide a youth perspective to the Council on a range of issues covered by Council, as well as issues relating directly to youth
• To act as a consultative link between young people and Council
• To provide a forum where the views of young people are voiced and heard

For further information on the Youth Council, please contact Council's District Development Manager, Julie Pearse, on 03 419 0200 or email julie.pearse@cluthadc.govt.nz
