Youth Week explodes into smaller communities

Back

Fraser Coast Regional Council is collaborating with local youth groups, services and agencies to host a jam-packed week of free fun activities for 2023 Youth Week!

Set to be bigger than ever before, this year's Youth Week will be chockfull with annual favourites but also a host of new events.

Mayor George Seymour said Council was proud to be expanding Youth Week offers.

"We are excited to host events in Howard and Bauple this year, which will focus around Laser Skirmish” he said.

“Council hopes this will be a wonderful opportunity to allow young people to celebrate closer to home.

“This year will also see the introduction of two new events in Maryborough, Borough Beats and Day in the Park, which will both be held in ANZAC park.”

With eight diverse events held between April 11 and 15, 2023 there will be something for all young people aged 12 to 25 to engage with.

“By co-ordinating these activities, we show our youth that they are important to us, they are valued, and they make a valuable contribution to our communities.

“The events are also an opportunity to hear what they have to say about the world around them and their aspirations to ensure that the region is the place they want to live, work and play.”

Event information is available on Council’s website www.frasercoast.qld.gov.au/youth-week.
