Youth Mapping Exercise
📌 We are after feedback from children and young people in George River
💬 We want you to tell us your ideas and concerns on our interactive map
💡 We want to hear from children and young people of all abilities
What is this exercise?
This is your opportunity to help shape the future of Georges River. This exercise gives children and young people (aged 12–24) a simple way to share how they experience the area. You know the places and services that feel safe, fun, boring or stressful. Your input helps us understand those experiences so we can better support young people.
Why is this exercise happening?
We’re collecting insights from children and young people to understand your experiences across Georges River. This helps us see what’s working well, what needs attention and where there are opportunities to improve.
The information you share will help guide:
- Youth programs and events
- Public spaces and recreation
- Safety and wellbeing initiatives
- Funding and advocacy priorities.
What happens next
Your contributions become part of a long‑term evidence base that supports Council’s planning and advocacy for young people. We’ll share updates on what we heard and how your input is being used in future projects and decisions.
