Voices of Our Youth - Annual Survey

Young people in the Shire of Harvey can have their say through the Voices of our Youth Annual Survey.

The Survey gives youth an opportunity to share their needs, experiences and aspirations.

This feedback will help the Shire develop an increasingly fun, safe and welcoming community for young people.

The 2024 survey is now complete.
