Tweed Shire Youth Council inducted for 2021

02 March 2021

Thirteen members from seven schools

Council protocols replaced classroom papers when inductees of the 2021 Tweed Shire Youth Council came together for the first time in Tweed Heads last week.

Representing seven different schools, the 13 members of the Youth Council from Years 10 and 11 were welcomed to their roles by Mayor of Tweed Cr Chris Cherry and Council General Manager Troy Green.

First established in 2016, the Tweed Shire Youth Council provides young people with an opportunity to express their views on local community matters that directly relate to them.

The 2021 Tweed Shire Youth Council members are:

  • Oska Proietto and Imogene Pain - Banora Point High School
  • Abby Pirotta and Daniel Green - Lindisfarne Anglican Grammar School
  • Daniel Daley and Logan Wright - Murwillumbah High School
  • Montana Markland - Pacific Coast Christian School
  • Dawn Cosham and Tom Nguyen - St Joseph’s College Banora Point
  • Madison Bambach and Julia Wilder-Donvito - Wollumbin High School, and
  • Rykah Ross and Jorja Campbell - Tweed River High School.
The elected Chair is Montana Markland and Deputy Chair is Logan Wright.

Facilitated through Council’s Community Development unit, the Tweed Shire Youth Council ensures young people can feel more connected to where they live and to be involved in the planning and delivery of youth-related decisions made by Council.

Cr Chris Cherry said it was great to see so many engaged young people in the Tweed.

“We hope to hear lots more from the members of the Tweed Shire Youth Council who will be able to put forward concerns, ideas and initiatives directly to Council for consideration,” she said.

The Tweed Shire Youth Council’s next meeting will be held at the Council Chambers in the Murwillumbah Civic and Cultural Centre on Tuesday 23 March 2021. Meetings are held four times a year.
