Despite all good intentions, for some time now Melton City Council has not successfully delivered on youth engagement in Diggers Rest.
Unfortunately, many residents aged 12 to 25 are disenfranchised from Council based activities and programs. Most secondary school aged residents living in Diggers Rest attend school outside the Melton municipality. The township of Diggers Rest has no direct transport links to its municipal central business district.
Melton Youth Services offer a range of quality youth specific programs through the Melton Youth Centre, Barries Road, Melton and Taylors Hill Youth and Community Centre, Calder Park Drive, Taylors Hill.
Melton Youth Services are seeking feedback from young people to help shape services and programs to meet the needs of young people in our local community.
An online survey is currently available for young people aged 12 to 25 living within the Melton municipality. This is an ideal opportunity for young people to have a say about what services, programs and events they would like to see on offer.

It’s understood the survey will be active until September 6, 2016.
