Youth Council

The Lake Macquarie Youth Council (LMYC) provides an important opportunity for young people to have input into Council decisions.

Lake Mac Youth Council:

  • offers young people the opportunity to participate in the public life of Lake Macquarie City
  • finds out about issues that are important to young people in the local area and provides advice to Council about addressing issues facing young people
  • participates in the planning, running and evaluation of local initiatives and projects for young people

Meetings are held each month on the second Wednesday of the month from 5-7pm. Lake Mac Youth Council welcomes visitors to sit in on meetings to see what Youth Council is about.
