Background to the Youth Plan
In 2005 the City of Marion undertook a review it's Youth Plan. The results along with a number of key recommendations were endorsed by Council in July 2005.

A key objective of the Youth Plan was to allow young people the opportunity to have a say on issues that were important to them. With the support of Secondary Schools within the City of Marion, Council’s Youth Advisory Committee, twenty agencies and nineteen youth workers, 1,305 young people and agency workers contributed to the Youth Plan. The Youth Plan provides a detailed description of the consultation process and a full analysis of the findings.

The Youth Plan presents thirty eight recommendations that support the needs of young people and provides a service planning framework over three years to 2008. This will include a review of Council’s two youth centres to ensure that their operations are consistent with the aims and objectives of Council’s commitment to the provision of youth services as identified in the 2005 Youth Plan.

The Youth Plan is due to be reviewed in 2008.
