The next generation of Ipswich leaders have stepped up with fresh ideas at the official launch of the 2023 Ipswich Youth Advisory Council (IYAC).
The 38 young residents met at 1 Nicholas Street on Monday, 6 February, for their induction and first official meeting where they received journals to document their experience.
Ipswich Mayor Teresa Harding said it was always an honour to meet the leaders of tomorrow.
“This group of young leaders represent the future of our community, and it is a privilege to have them join the Ipswich Youth Advisory Council,” Mayor Harding said.
“Ipswich is a youthful city. Our median age is 33, five years lower than the state and national median of 38.
“IYAC is an important part of our community as it allows young people to have a voice and play an active role in the decisions that affect their lives.”
