youth strategy 2025-2030 goals. 1. Inclusion and participation 2. Connections and wellbeing 3. Experiences and diversity 4. Services and support systemsThe Toowoomba Region Youth Strategy 2025–2030 is our five-year plan for engaging the many young people aged 12-24 who live, learn, work and play across our communities.

Young people are at the heart of the Toowoomba Region’s future. This strategy provides a framework for how Council will support young people to actively shape the development of our communities, achieve their aspirations and enrich the civic, economic, cultural and social life of the Region.

Since the release of our last strategy, our communities have been faced with continuing stresses, disruption and transitions. To identify priority areas for a new strategy, we conducted a program of long-term consultation with young people, families and our regional youth sector. Built upon our evidence base, relationships and role as a local government, the Youth Strategy 2025-2030 is structured around four interlinked goals.

Each goal represents an area of our practice, grounded in principles of community development, early intervention and community self-determination. Alongside our action plan, this framework for youth engagement will guide our work for the next five years.

  1. Inclusion and participation
  2. Connections and wellbeing
  3. Experiences and diversity
  4. Services and support systems

The Youth Strategy 2025-2030 is a living document. As we continue this shared journey, we welcome contributions from our communities to support, deliver and sustain the strategy’s outcomes.
