Latrobe Valley youth space

Ms SHING — On a related matter, on Tuesday, 20 March, it was fantastic to hear the pitch for the new youth space in the Latrobe Valley, which was a commitment announced by Minister Mikakos last year. The students involved in this collective effort to determine what the priorities will be for young people throughout the valley in a space that enables them to come together were many and varied. I was really heartened by the work that went into the core co‑design team’s efforts and the outreach that was done for people right across the Latrobe Valley catchment about what they would like to achieve and how they would like to access information services and have an area which is designed by and for them to come together and to further consolidate the pride and the effort that is going into getting a better sense of self for many of the people throughout the valley, now and into the future.
