In March 2019, Council worked with Tennant Creek High School to form a Youth Advisory Council. With the assistance of school staff, nominations were called for and nine students put their names forward to join our first Youth Advisory Council. Following Councils appointment of our new Youth Councillors, an appointment ceremony and induction was held in Council Chambers on 11 June 2019. This was following by the first meeting of the Youth Advisory Council on 25 June 2019. The youth councillors meet 4 times a year and provide feedback Council on issues affecting our Youth, subjects such as street lighting, the skate park and rubbish bins in public places were amongst the first items discussed by the Youth Advisory Council. Our Youth Advisory Council members are: Denver Cope, Felicity Fewings, Christopher Kollakkombil, Robelyn Lanas, Pashya Noorizal, Ebony Pickel, John Ross, Brooke Wilson and Tye Noonan. The Youth Advisory Council members take turns chairing the meetings so every member has an opportunity to learn how to effectively run a meeting. The minutes from each Youth Council meeting are presented at the following Ordinary Council Meeting. Council would like to thank the members of the Youth Advisory Council and Tennant Creek High School staff for giving up their time to participate in this important initiative.
