Children and Young People

The Town of Gawler recognises the importance of having a member of staff devoted to youth development.

The Youth Development Officer’s focus is to:

• Encourage and facilitate young people’s participation in community life.
• Provide ongoing support and development of the Gawler Youth Advisory Committee ensuring relevant issues are referred to them for their advice and Council is informed of their views.
• Plan and deliver events which recognise and celebrate young people’s achievements.
• Promote information of interest to young people about services, facilities and opportunities within the local area.
• Assist in the planning, policy and other resource development to advance the Gawler community
