Nominations are now open for the Albury’s Youth Council. Albury mayor Councillor Kevin Mack said it was important for young people to get involved as a way of giving them a voice, directly to council. Teenagers aged between 14 and 18 who are passionate about representing the views of young people in Albury are encouraged to nominate. “We're looking for enthusiastic young people who want to have a say on the programs and services that impact them,” Cr Mack said. “We want to make sure council is adequately planning for young people so it's really important we hear what they have to say. “Youth Councillors play a really important role as advocates and spokespeople for their peers.” Youth Councillors can be self nominated, or nominated by an individual or by an organisation. There are nine positions, with a Youth Mayor and Deputy Youth Mayor. Nomination close on February 22, with forms available at alburycity.nsw.gov.au/youthcouncil.
