Young people told us what matters most to them, from feeling safe and connected to having opportunities to learn, work and thrive in Penrith. Their feedback has shaped the Draft Penrith Youth Strategy and Action Plan 2027-2031.

The draft strategy was placed on public exhibition for feedback from 5 October to 1 November 2026. Thank you to everyone who contributed their thoughts, ideas and experiences. Your feedback will help shape the final strategy.

What happens next?

We’ll review all feedback and make amendments where possible. The final Youth Strategy and Action Plan 2027–31 will be presented to Council for endorsement by December 2026.
