Manningham Council last night endorsed plans to establish its first Youth Advisory Committee to represent the voice of young people which will inform Council decisions and provide valuable input into Council strategies and policies.
The committee will be set up in 2021/22 following consultation with young people in Manningham over the coming months.
Manningham Mayor Andrew Conlon said it’s imperative to consult with young people from the beginning to ensure that this advisory committee is relevant, attractive to young people and ultimately a success.
“Previously Council has sought the views of young people via youth advisory forums and youth councils, but establishing an advisory committee makes their voice a permanent fixture in the business of Council,” Cr Conlon said
“With an expected growth of almost one thousand young people aged 12 to 25 in the next nine years we want to ensure young people in Manningham are helping inform Council decisions.”
“With growing concerns among the young population on issues such as climate change, mental health, cultural representation and more, there is no better time than now for this advisory committee.”
The Youth Advisory Committee will consider Council’s plans and strategies, as well as seek views on issues affecting young people and feed it back to Council to influence decision making and priority setting.
Over the next few months Council will run a series of youth-focused groups and forums that will inform Council how the committee will be set-up.
Young people who have nominated to be part of Council’s Community Panel will also be invited to participate in the group consultations and forums.
The Terms of Reference and scope of the new Youth Advisory Committee will be determined later this year, following the consultative period with young people and once the Council Plan and Health City Strategy for 2021 to 2025 are in place.

Paparazzi, a flash mob and a Mayor with a personality as big as her hair saw last weekend’s sold out Manningham Community Mayoral Ball raise more than $44,000 towards establishing a dedicated youth mental health outreach program in Manningham.
Close to 400 people including dignitaries and community leaders attended the disco-themed Ball at the Manningham Function Centre, with many more generously donating and buying raffle tickets to support the cause.
Manningham Council Mayor Cr Michelle Kleinert said she was incredibly humbled by the support shown by the Manningham community.
“I would like to thank all our sponsors, local businesses and community groups who donated raffle and auction prizes and everyone who gave their time and money to help raise money for this worthy cause,” she said.
“The community’s enthusiasm and dedication to raising funds and establishing this service is truly overwhelming. Our youths face a very bright future.”
Cr Kleinert said Council was excited to be working with headspace Hawthorn and YMCA Manningham Youth Services to introduce this outreach program to Manningham.
“This program is designed to make it as easy as possible for young people aged 12 to 25 years old to access support affecting their wellbeing locally,” she said.
Dr. Harry Majewski, CEO Access Health and Community, the lead agency for headspace Hawthorn, said it was a great opportunity to work with Council in establishing the service to support young people and their families with mental health issues.
Hosted by entertainment personality, Queen of the Red Carpet, Ivana Babbleoff and Cr Kleinert, guests enjoyed a three-course meal, live entertainment and danced the night away.
Council will be presenting the money raised to Access Health and Community on Tuesday, 17 October.

A dedicated youth mental health outreach program will be soon be available to help young people with mental health issues in Manningham.
The program will be established upon signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between Manningham City Council, YMCA Manningham Youth Services and Access Health and Community on Tuesday, 1 August.
Manningham City Council Mayor Cr Michelle Kleinert said there was a need for further mental health resources for young people aged 12 to 25 in Manningham.
“I’m excited Council is working with headspace Hawthorn and YMCA Manningham Youth Services to introduce this dedicated outreach program to our City,” she said.
“This program is about making sure young people and their families have support and information available locally.”
The outreach program covers four core areas, including mental health, physical health, work and study support, and alcohol and other drug services. It will complement existing youth and mental health services currently available in Manningham.
Figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows suicide is the leading cause of death for Victorians aged 15 to 24 years old.
Dr Harry Majewski, CEO Access Health and Community, the lead agency for headspace Hawthorn, said early intervention and providing young people and their families with mental health support was important to prevent mental health issues escalating.
“We create opportunities for young people to reach out for help and assist those who wouldn’t usually ask for help,” he said. “It’s important to break the stigma associated with mental health.”
Manningham YMCA CEO Michele Rowse said she was excited YMCA Manningham Youth Services will be working with headspace Hawthorn in supporting young people in the community.
“Making the transition into adulthood is never easy and the more support and guidance we can provide locally, the easier the process will be,” she said.
This year’s Manningham Community, disco-themed Mayoral Ball on Friday, 13 October, is dedicated to raising funds to establish this service in Manningham.

Article Content
Manningham Council is calling on the State Government to continue to support for the School Focused Youth Service (SFYS) for vulnerable young people in our community, with the future funding of the program remaining uncertain.
The SFYS first began in 1998 through the Department of Education and Early Childhood and supports staff and training for schools and agencies throughout Victoria to deliver assistance to students aged 10 – 18 years.
The program aims to provide a co-ordinated approach between schools, welfare and community agencies in assisting young people in their transition to adulthood.
Like other local governments responsible for SFYS programs in Victoria, Manningham Council is very disappointed that State Government funding will cease on 30 December 2015.
Manningham Council has been in a partnership arrangement with Boroondara Council to operate the SFYS at a local level since 2013 and focus on areas of mental health and wellbeing, relationships, family, school engagement and learning.
Over the past 12 months, the SFYS has equipped 400 staff with the training needed to work with vulnerable young people across 70 different schools and agencies across the Boroondara / Manningham region.
Manningham Mayor, Cr Paul McLeish said, “The SFYS has provided valuable opportunities and resources to strengthen partnerships between schools and agencies so as to improve opportunities for vulnerable young people in the municipality.”
“Our young people and their welfare is of the highest priority and any decisions that impact on them, need to be made with great care and with an eye to the future.”
The SFYS program is currently under review by the State Government and Manningham Council will continue to advocate for the ongoing need of this program.”

YMCA Manningham Youth Services Manager Michael Colling said up to 20 exhibitors will be on hand to provide information and practical skills to young people on education and employment options.
“It is an excellent opportunity for young people to network and explore local opportunities,” he said.

We advocate for you
Advocacy is an important way for us to provide a voice for the community on issues that matter.
We are advocating to influence state and federal governments to fund important priority projects around planning, transport, infrastructure and services.
The North East Link project
The North East Link is Victoria's largest road project. The needs of our community and surrounding environment must be considered, before, during and after construction.
Suburban Rail Loop
We're advocating for a Doncaster Station to be included in the first phase of construction of the Suburban Rail Loop.
Youth mental health
We are seeking increased local access to youth mental health services in Manningham. We support the delivery of a headspace facility to meet demand and create meaningful impacts.
We welcome the announcement of funding for a service and will continue to advocate for local delivery.
Affordable housing
We are seeking additional stimulus funding to registered housing services to work in partnerships with other councils to support vulnerable residents, particularly those with a disability.
5 Ways - help make this intersection safer
5 Ways has been the site of a number vehicle crashes and incidents. We are concerned about the ongoing safety issues associated with this intersection and continue to urge DoT to undertake improvements.
Better public transport
We are seeking accelerated funding by State Government for more bus services to meet growing demand and infrastructure improvements to improve the reliability and frequency of the local bus network. Key to this, is larger capacity buses and more services during peak periods to be provided on the Doncaster Area Rapid Transit (DART) SmartBus network.
We are also advocating for the implementation of a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) connection between the CBD and Doncaster as part of the North East Link Doncaster Busway project.
Doncaster Rail
We will continue to advocate for a heavy rail line between the CBD and Doncaster. We are strongly advocating to ensure that the North East Link project preserves a future alignment for Doncaster Rail, and that the design of the Doncaster Busway is delivered in a manner that allows it to be transitioned to heavy rail, once buses the bus system reaches capacity.
Doncaster Hill public transport infrastructure
Improved transport infrastructure through Doncaster Hill will unlock and complement regional opportunities for improved access to jobs, educational and health facilities and to other community and social services.

The Youth Advisory Committee will consider Council’s plans and strategies. They will also seek views on issues affecting young people and feed it back to Council to influence decision making and priority setting.
Manningham Mayor, Cr Michelle Kleinert said that she is thrilled to have a diverse group of young people providing feedback on Council policies and plans.
“It is so important that young people have a place at the table when we are making decisions about the future of our community.”
"The committee will also give young people the opportunity to undertake leadership roles. The experience that they gain will serve them well in future employment and education settings."
Cr Laura Mayne and Cr Anna Chen will play active roles on the committee.
The group will meet at least six times over their one-year term.
