National Youth Week is an annual event celebrating young people across Australia. Youth Week in NSW aims to acknowledge and celebrate the positive contributions made by young people in our community.
Youth Week falls between 10-18 April in 2019 and Council is already working with young people and youth services across our City to plan a week filled with entertainment, sports, music and most of all fun!
