1Engagement Summary Report

01 INTRODUCTION

This Report provides a summary of the work undertaken as part of the Hepburn Youth Engagement Strategy, undertaken by CoDesign Studio on behalf of Hepburn Shire Council. The Hepburn Youth Engagement Strategy was undertaken across Hepburn Shire from March to July 2015. Working closely with Council officers, as well as key community stakeholders, CoDesign Studio sought to engage with young people (12 - 24 years old) across the Shire to understand their needs and wants for their shire. This Report will inform the preparation of Hepburn Shire Council’s Youth Strategy and Action Plan. The purpose of this strategy is to mainstream Youth across Council’s portfolio, rather than create stand-along “youth” activities.

CoDesign Studio is a placemaking and community engagement consultancy that specialises in rapid community building: an approach that uses low-cost improvements to streets and public spaces to help local communities get better connected to each other, and their local neighbourhood. For the Hepburn Youth Engagement Strategy, we sought high levels of youth participation, and increased awareness about the Youth Strategy and Action Plan by utilising an interactive place-based approach, centred around fun and interesting engagement activities.

In this reportThis report provides an overview of the project, include the aims and objectives, process undertaken, and a snapshot of who was engaged. Then a summary is provided of the key findings across the engagement period, broken down into five main themes: Activity; Clubs and Organisations; Private Sector; Social; and Transport. The outcomes of the Hepburn Youth Ideas Competition is

summarised, including a snapshot of the top fifteen entries and how they relate to the five main themes.

The final section of this report provides recommendations to the Shire on how the outcomes from the youth engagement across Hepburn Shire may inform the preparation of Council’s Youth Strategy and Action Plan. Some discussion is provided about how to prioritize projects, with a focus on what may be achieved in the short term.


2.1 PROJECT AIMSDuring project inception the CoDesign team worked closely with Council to develop the following high level project aims:• Connect widely with young people in places

where they are comfortable and familiar;• Increase awareness about the youth strategy, and

the youth services Council offers to youth; • Build the capacity of local young people

to plan and design initiatives for their local neighbourhood;

• Gather ideas for future youth activities, places and services;

• Commit to acting on what the young people want to see in the neighbourhood, through the youth strategy and action plan; and

• A success measure for this project will be the number of young people reached, with an ambitious target to reach 10 per cent of Hepburn’s youth population.

Initially set out in the Project Plan (Rev 2), these aims remained unchanged throughout the course of the project.

02 PROJECT OVERVIEW

2.2 THE PROCESSOur methodology was structured to create meaningful participation from the target cohort, leading to real buy-in and commitment to Council’s youth program. This ensured that the project did more than just ‘consult’ the community, but rather leave the communities better than we found them by building the capacity of the Shire’s young people to achieve ongoing change.

Working closely with Council, CoDesign was commissioned to undertake the following scope of work:• Design and deliver a youth engagement strategy

that is creative and interactive, and seeks to engage a wide range of young people across the major towns in Hepburn Shire;

• As part of this strategy, engage with a youth reference group to support us through the design and implementation of the engagement;

• Deliver a series of place-based, pop-up workshops or early activation projects in the activity centres that, as part of the engagement strategy, enable participants to be actively involved in shaping their neighbourhood.

• Develop content for the online platform ‘OurSay’ to promote engagement with the project.

• Meet with Council and youth reference groups regularly throughout the project.

• Synthesise the feedback, and report back to Council and stakeholders on engagement activities, identifying short, medium and long-term ideas that will inform Council’s youth strategy and action plan.

This work was delivered over the following five phase process. Communication collateral produced for each stage is provided in Appendix A.

Phase 1- Getting AcquaintedDuring this phase the CoDesign team were familiarised with the project context, met with the project team and key stakeholders, confirmed the project deliverable and timing, and selected sites for the place-based community engagement. During this Phase we undertook a one hour Ideas Workshop with the ‘Youth Reference Group’ made up by 14 students at Daylesford Secondary College.

Potential project challenges As with all engagement strategies, the project faced a number of challenges in meeting the project objectives. These were discussed with the client group during Phase 1 to enable appropriate mitigation. • Reaching a wide and diverse range of youth

stakeholder groups, so that young people feel involved in the project.

• Providing opportunities for young people to participate that are relevant and interesting.

• Building a sense of youth ownership and support for the project, whereby participants don’t feel like they are just giving feedback, but are mobilised to remain engaged in project activities beyond this initial engagement phase.

Ideas Workshop with Youth Reference Group in Phase 1


Phase 2- Starting the ConversationThe purpose of this phase is to develop engagement material and the competition brief. We will also meet internally with Council stakeholders to review the program, issues and opportunities.

Seeking thoughtful participation from a cross section of Hepburn’s youth was one of the project’s biggest challenges. The ‘Youth Ideas Competition’ was created to address this issue. The Youth Ideas Competition provided young people in Hepburn Shire with the opportunity to receive a $1000 to put towards turning their idea for the Shire into action.

During Phase 2 OurSay built an online platform to host the competition by collecting ideas and votes from members of the community. The OurSay platform went ‘live’ on 7th May 2015 as the ‘soft’ launch of the competition.

The OurSay platform hosting the competition launched in Phase 2. The Competition process was created in Phase 2.

About the Competition1. Young people (aged 12-24 years old) were invited to come up with ideas for how Hepburn Shire could be a better place for young people to live; examples include a mountain bike club, dance group, mentoring opportunities or a place for bands to practice.

Council hosted four information sessions/workshops, to help young people develop these ideas. Free food will be available from food trucks:

High Street, Trentham Thursday 28 May

3:30-5:30pm

Vincent St, Daylesford Friday 29 May 3:30-5:30pm

Albert St, Creswick Saturday 30 May

10am-noon

Fraser St, Clunes Saturday 30 May

1:30-3:30pm

2. Young people submitted their ideas for Hepburn via the OurSay platform at http://oursay.org/hepburnideas, and support their favourite ideas submitted by others.

3. A judging panel shortlisted five finalists*, who will be featured in the local press and have the opportunity to present their ideas directly to Council.

4. Two winners will each be granted $1,000* support from Council and ongoing media coverage to help their idea come to life.

5. All ideas were considered as part of the development of Council’s Youth Strategy and Action Plan

*This step was still underway when this report was being prepared.

“Got a great idea for Hepburn? You could win

$1000 to make it happen!”

Phase 3- Competition Launch and PromotionFollowing the launch of the OurSay page, the project team utilised a range of tools to generate awareness of the project and engage young people in order to: improve awareness about the project, promote the big ideas competition, provide information about the upcoming pop-up workshops. During this Phase we undertook two meetings with key stakeholders in Daylesford and Creswick. These sessions provided the project with a broader understanding of the challenges facing young people across the Shire. We also met with Daylesford Secondary College’s Student Representative Council for 30 minutes to promote the pop-up events and competition.

The Council team undertook a significant amount of work promoting the Ideas Competition, including visiting schools and sporting clubs across the Shire. This was complimented by a social media campaign.

Phase 4- Place-Based Engagement ActivitiesThe most significant component of the engagement strategy was the design and execution of four pop-up events held across the Shire’s major towns: Trentham, Daylesford, Clunes and Creswick. These events were well advertised through postcards distributed across the Shire’s primary and secondary schools, and to local businesses and other organisations.

Comprised of giant letters spelling ‘HEPBURN’, inflatable furniture, eye-catching decorations, digital media connections, and free hot food, the Pop-ups were a playful way to spread the word about the competition, as well as gain additional ideas and comments for the needs of the Shire’s youth.

While inclement weather across the weekend limited attendance at the events, most of the participants were familiar with the Hepburn Youth Ideas Competition through their schools or peers, and a

Meeting with the SRC at Daylesford Secondary College Pop-up event held in Daylesford during Phase 4Pop-up event held in Creswick during Phase 4

large proportion of those who stopped contributed ideas to the ‘HEPBURN Vision’ letters. Digital tablets were available on site for participants to view the OurSay competition page and to submit an idea on the spot. The OurSay platform enabled users to submit an idea to the competition, as well as vote or comment on the ideas of others.

The events were staffed by CoDesign, OurSay and Council representatives who were able discuss ideas with the young participants and encourage a deeper level of consideration prior to entering the competition.

Phase 5- Synthesis and ReportingAt the close of the competition CoDesign worked with Council to synthesise feedback received across all mediums and prepare a shortlist of competition entries for consideration by Council. This Report is the outcome of this stage of work, and the key findings are provided in the following section.


‘HEPBURN Vision’ letters were used to collect ideas

2.3 WHO WE REACHEDThe project set an ambitious target of reaching 10% of the Shire’s young people across the course of the project, which is around 200 people. While it is difficult to get an accurate picture of the total number of people engaged across a diverse engagement program such as this, 271 people aged 25 and under registered on the OurSay platform alone, indicating that the engagement goal was certainly reached. Adjacent is a snapshot of other key engagement statistics.

The CompetitionThe Hepburn Youth Ideas Competition received exactly 300 submissions, 1,659 votes, and 177 comments across its six week duration. While the forum was accessible to anyone, information gathered when participants registered indicates that 85.5% (271 of 317) of contributors were under 25 years of age, and 86.4% (274 of 317) reside within Hepburn Shire. The adjacent figure illustrates the postcode locations of people who submitted an entry to the competition.

Grey cells indicate age is within target range

of ideas. There may be a number of reasons for this large disparity in numbers, not least of which is that Creswick proximity and connectivity to Ballarat means that the town retains its young people after finishing school. This is in stark contrast to Clunes, Daylesford and Trentham whose youth population is seen to drop by 40 - 50% after high school graduation.

The competition also received entries from a broad range of ages both in (271) and out (46) of the target range (Refer to Table 1). While age data cannot be further disaggregated, it was seen that there was much higher participation from persons aged

15 years or younger, than 16 - 25 years olds. This disparity is not unexpected, as effectively engaging with post-school aged youth is very difficult in a decentralised region such as Hepburn Shire. While school-aged youth may be reached through their schools and school transport, school leavers are not so easily accessed. Considering these limitations, achieving participation from 79 15 - 25 year olds may be seen as a significant achievement.

It should be noted that in some instances proxys submitted ideas or comments on behalf of youth participants. This may skew the data slightly, and also account for higher number of ‘adult’ submittors.


03 WHAT WE HEARD

3.1 OVERVIEWAcross all the consultation activities, over six-hundred ideas to support young people in Hepburn Shire were collected. Input was received from all over Hepburn Shire and included feedback from the stakeholder and high school workshops, from the pop up engagements held at Clunes, Creswick, Daylesford and Trentham as well as from the OurSay online competition forum.

The feedback falls broadly into the following five themes:

Theme One: Activity Ideas centred on activities young people can do, whether improving existing facilities or creating new spaces that are conducive to different activities.

Theme Two: Clubs and Organisations Upgrades to established clubs such as football netball clubs. This includes opportunities for the creation of new clubs, such as the visual arts, music or gaming.

Theme Three: Private Sector Projects driven by the private sector to improve things for young people. This was largely access to retail stores and also opportunities for entertainment and employment. This theme has a strong relationship to the Shire’s economic development strategies.

Theme Four: Social Increased opportunities for safe, low-cost social interactions. This includes movie nights, festivals and a youth hub that could be utilised on weeknights and weekends.

Theme Five: Transport Improved transport, with an emphasis on improved services to and from Ballarat, and at times that would enable inter-town employment after school and on weekends.

The following pages provide a snapshot of what we heard about the existing services and facilities for young people; their aspirations for the future; and a summary of the top ideas from the OurSay online competition forum.

A detailed breakdown of the feedback received is provided in Appendix B.

10 CoDesign Studio

3.2 EXISTINGIn general there was less recognition from participants of existing services. Ideas were predominantly centred upon new facilities and initiatives. Feedback on current provisions are summarised within the five themes as follows.

Theme One: Activity• Swimming pools are very popular in all towns

which have them, however some young people are frustrated that outdoor pools are unable to be used all year round.

• Football and netball clubs are very popular, and offer young people positive opportunities to meet and socialise.

• Young people enjoy having access to skate parks, but there is a view that they do not particularly cater for all skill levels. They are also seen as few and far between.

• Mountain biking and BMX riding are popular activities but there is a common view that existing facilities are lacking.

03 WHAT WE HEARD

Theme Two: Clubs and Organisations• Sporting clubs are popular and were discussed

across all the forums, including many of the existing clubs located within Hepburn Shire.

• Current facilities available to youth are not conducive to starting small group activities such as gaming and theatre clubs.

• There is a significant lack of multifunctional space that is accessible after school hours and on weekends.


Theme Three: Social• There is a lack of low-cost events specifically

catering to young young people.• Many town centres are seen as unwelcoming

places for young people. • In general there is a lack of places for young

people to socialise, and this is seen as a pressing issue.

• There is a strong desire among young people to organise social events, however the majority do not know where to start.

• There is a lack of opportunities for under-aged live music performances.

Theme Four: Private Sector • Many young people feel like there is a lack of

places for them to visit after school.• There is a lack of employment opportunities

locally, and young people do not want to travel to larger towns in order to work.

• Many young people don’t like what they perceive to be as upmarket shops that are not for locals.

• The lack of fast food chains and large retail outlets (i.e. McDonalds and Kmart) is seen to limit social gatherings and employment options for young people.

• Daylesford Secondary College students identified that there is a lack of diversity in the shops on offer.

Theme Five: Transport• Currently there are limited public transport

opportunities, which creates issues of social isolation for young people.

• Specialised bus trips for high school students to Ballarat exist but for most there is only a single bus to catch in order to get home.

• A clear message was received that existing transport options for young people are inadequate, and as a result they rely heavily on parents and friends for transport.

• Bike paths are seen to be lacking and connectivity is minimal.

3.3 FUTUREIdeas put forward for new facilities, activities and opportunities were imaginative and diverse. Many of the ideas incorporate several themes and are pragmatic and achievable.

Theme One: Activity• With approximately 320 ideas recorded across all

the engagement forums, the ‘Activity’ theme was the single most popular.

• Pools are extremely popular as they provide low cost activities for a range of ages, and also provide socialising opportunities. Over 30 OurSay posts relate to pools (both indoor and outdoor), particularly improvements to extend the months of operation.

• In all towns there were requests for basketball hoops, skatepark upgrades as well as mountain bike and or BMX tracks that cater to a more highly skilled cohort than skate parks.

• Less popular but still prominent were equestrian facilities. The expense and relevance of this idea to a broad user group was identified as a potential issue.

• Console gaming is very popular, with many requesting spaces to game with others as well as places to buy games. Gaming was not only seen as a key activity for young males, but also considered a social event.

• Young people want classes and activities that are centred on visual arts, dance, theatre and music. There was some discussion about existing

facilities not being well utilised, perhaps through lack of information about what is available.

• There were a few requests for niche activities such as parkour, fishing, and knitting.

• Existing activities and infrastructure could be improved (i.e. new sports equipment, better lighting for outdoor courts).

• There was an interest in activities that provide a positive learning environment. While cooking and drawing lessons were popular, there was also an emphasis on the need to prepare youth for the job market.

• Direct engagement with Daylesford Secondary College unveiled a general desire for access to more physical activities that utilised the surrounding natural assets of Hepburn Shire. From mountain biking and dirt bikes, to water sports and the construction of a high ropes course.

• There is a preference for introductory classes that give young people the opportunity to try and experiment with new activities.

• Investing in technology is seen as important to enable youth activities, including the provision of free wi-fi hotspots around the municipality.

• There was some interest in environmental sustainability, with ideas including community gardens where produce can be grown locally.

“(Build) job skills other than just hospitality, so we don’t lose kids to

Melbourne for employment”.

“My idea is a theatre group for the people of Hepburn. Many people in this area

love live theatre but wouldn’t it be great to actually be able to do it? I think so!”

14 CoDesign Studio

Theme Three: Social• Lots of requests, especially in Daylesford for a

youth café or common area. This likely reflects Daylesford’s role as a key after-school meeting place for secondary school students before travelling home.

• Movie nights are popular, and many have been proposed as an appropriate family friendly activity.

• Gaming was very popular with participants wanting a facility where they could access consoles and games to play with their friends.

• A need was expressed to reduce barriers to youth participation by introducing all ages social events, such as underage live music.

• Feedback from the Daylesford Secondary College workshop was mixed, with suggestions ranging from cheaper food outlet options to movie screenings. However all suggestions were underlined by the need to provide more places where youth can just ‘hang out’.

• Technology is seen as an important factor for enabling young people to maintain their social network (i.e. Facebook), and the idea of facilitating public access to Wi-Fi was very popular.

03 WHAT WE HEARD

Theme Two: Clubs and Organisations• The majority of ideas for clubs and organisations

was received via the OurSay forum.• There was also much discussion about the

availability of youth clubs and organisations at meetings with Key Stakeholders, however many of the youth did not appear aware of these.

• Football and netball clubs are popular, with requests to improve many facilities around clubs; to improve the canteens at clubs; and to create new clubs for different towns.

• There were many ideas for new clubs, including equestrian, biking, gaming, book reading and dancing.

• There is a view that many clubs would not require large amounts of space to operate, simply a multi- purpose room with Wi-Fi.

• Gymnasium facilities are a popular suggestion for locals in towns outside of Ballarat.

• There is a need for a school holidays program that is accessible. School holiday programs were seen to provide excellent access to a range of activities for young people, however there were significant barriers to accessing these for youth who did not have access to transport.

• An underlying theme is the need for clubs to foster a welcoming environment where young people with similar interests can come together and form new friendships.

• Neighbourhood house programs were well loved in some towns, but lack of resources limited their ability to operate more than once a week.

“A place to learn, practice and perform music. Maybe a battle of the bands on the school holidays. Some instruments would

have to be purchased and stored. Like drums and microphones.”

“A community radio station with no ads, run after school by kids.”

“Live music for under 18’s.”

“Exhibition space for youth artists and musicians.”


Theme Four: Private Sector• There were many requests for different retail

stores. Toy/gaming shops and lolly stores rated highly in addition to fast food chains. There is a view that these fast food chains would provide more affordable food options, and act as a meeting/gathering place for young people.

• There is a desire for more place that provide activities for young people, such as cinemas and bowling centres.

• Theme parks such as Bounce Inc. are popular ideas and this is seen as a family friendly activity.

• It was suggested that advancement in technology and better internet access could be addressed through the rollout out of the National Broadband Network (NBN) to Hepburn Shire.

• Encouraging a more diverse retail mix is seen as necessary to increasing youth employment.

• It was suggested that the provision of hard infrastructure such as stadiums and swimming pools could be leveraged to attract bigger events to the municipality.

• There was a view that the private sector could do more to address social justice issues, such as social enterprises that focus on improving conditions for homeless people.

03 WHAT WE HEARD

“Arcade centre with a pizzeria and indoor laser tag for children who

can’t afford a home console.”

“A new stadium in Clunes where we could have tournaments with other

towns.”

“I think we should have a wave pool in Creswick.”

“A cafe for the homeless people so they don’t have to pay.”

Theme Five: Transport• Young people from all the towns want improved

services to Ballarat as this is where the majority of students attend school. More flexible school bus services (i.e. multiple options) is seen as a possible solution.

• Transport options to larger destinations outside of school times, such as Melbourne and daytime and weekend options to Ballarat.

• An activity bus that takes young people to weekend events.

• There is a view among stakeholders that carpooling could be better utilised.

• There was little consensus among entries via the OurSay forum about travel options within Hepburn Shire.

• Ideas regarding transportation were comparatively low compared to other themes.

• There is a strong emphasis across all forums on providing better public transport networks to address issues stemming from social isolation.

“I think that we should have easier transport system to get into the bigger towns (like

Ballarat) on weekends so kids don’t have to depend on others to travel around to the

better facilities.”

3.4 COMPETITIONThe Hepburn Youth Ideas Competition received exactly 300 ideas across the six-week submission period. The ‘Word Cloud’ opposite provides a snapshot of the recurring ideas emerging from the competition entries. Despite much overlap with ideas such as ‘netball’ and ‘McDonalds’, when looking at the number of public votes each idea received a very different picture of priorities emerges.

The following pages provides a summary of the top fifteen ideas submitted to the Hepburn Youth Ideas Competition, ordered by number of votes (Table 4). When examining the top fifteen ideas submitted in the competition, the following interesting observations emerged:• The top four ideas received approximately 55% of

the votes (917 of 1,659).• Only the top five idea submitters responded to

Site Administrator requests for further information. This may be because the top ideas were more closely monitoring the OurSay page.

• Many of the top fifteen ideas were submitted at or immediately after the pop-up events.

• Despite collecting significant comments about improvements to existing infrastructure (swimming pool, netball courts, skate parks) at the pop-up events and stakeholder workshops, the top fifteen ideas were overwhelmingly related to ‘new’ ideas.

Note that the text contained in Table 4 is extracted directly from the OurSay platform, and has not been edited for grammar or spelling.

my idea is that me and my friend would run a movie day with popcorn drinks ice-cream beanbags the lot and it would be great. you see so many other places do this sort of thing but nothing local so kids could walk down with their parents. the movies i would choose would be lego movie, frozen and big hero 6. and it would be so good to vote for this so that we can give the best possible experience for the participators with luxury seats and bean bag so please vote for this idea

My idea is to develop a structured program that would be delivered over seven 2 hour sessions (one session per week for 7 weeks). This program would be open to any young person within the community and will be deemed a safe space for participants to be there true seltves without judgement. Over each session a number of workshops will be delivered. These workshops will be designed to challenge participants and will require them to push themselves out of there comfort zone, which will allow personal development and a boost in confidence levels. This program will assist individuals in identifying there own values, passions and personal narratives and how to apply them to have an impact on issues within our society. This safe space will allow individuals to share personal stories, ideas and talents that otherwise they may have not. At the conclusion of the program there will be a presentation for participants which will give them an opportunity to speak about there experience in the program. Alumni of the program could then potentially be trained to become involved in the delivery of future program’s to take ownership and to ensure they able to stay involved. This $1,000 grant would help with gathering recourses to ensure the program would be delivered to the best standard possible. Young people have incredibly powerful voices. This program will help them discover there potential, in which we believe there is no limit!

My idea, is a theatre group for the people of the Hepburn and dayleaford area. Many people in this area love and live theatre but wouldn’t it be great to be actually be able to do it? I think so! Lots of people will back me up on this idea, it’s great! We dont have anything like this in our town and it’s never too late to start one. And it seems pretty convinient that our community movie cinema has a stage, lights, sound and many more things that would be very useful to a community theatre group, seeing as the cinema only plays movies 3-4 times a week there would be plenty of time for us to practice if they would have us. (hopefully they will) and how would we use the $1000 we would use it on advertisement for auditions and tickets, costumes, paint for sets, and more convinient things that a theatre needs. Many people in the area do homeschooling instead of the traditional schooling program, I am one of whom who does homeschool, and seeing as we don’t have access to the school productions and such this would be open to anyone and everyone, that means no year level would determine main roles and such. When the $1000 runs out, our ticket sales will get us enough money for the next costumes and sets and scripts, it will all work in a loop and get everyone more involved in the community so please please vote for this idea...

A place to learn, practice and perform music. Maybe a battle of the bands on the school holidays. Some instruments would have to be purchased and stored. Like drums and microphones.I hadn’t thought about venues, but the Neighborhood House would be a good place to ask and possibly get involved as well as some of the local musicians to help guide and give lessons.

A gaming lounge with lots of different video gamesI think each Saturday and Sunday two sessions that are two hours each. Kids will have to book ahead. They pay $10 for a session, maybe $5 to start with to get kids interested. All the money goes towards more equipment. When we have enough equipment maybe it becomes free, or maybe the money is used for events or other activities for young people. I live in Creswick and there are places like the hall in Hammon Park where the dance classes are held, or the Railway station, or the Scout Hall. There are probably venues like that in Daylesford. All we need is power points. I would get a venue to say yes before getting funding or volunteers. With $40 or $80 per day being paid it would be OK to pay something for a hall. 3 22in Screens $130 each new 3 Xbox 360 $120 each used, from EB Games 3 Headsets $20 each from EB Games Two tables from Bunnings, $35 each 3 Minecraft games from EB Games, $23 each 3 Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 from EB Games, $19 each That comes to $996. EB Games might want to sponsor us. We can get volunteers who are older brothers or fathers. My father would help. Volunteers can help with chairs if the venue doesn’t have any, and additional games in the first few weeks, until they can be bought.

my idea is to have a youth cafe, this cafe would be for youth run by youth, the main idea is to help struggling young people to get a job and if needed they would be space to stay for people going through a rough time, it would be a really fun environment for young people to hang out, free (good) wifi of course and cheep food so it is available for people struggling, the money would go to wages and food costs and whats left over would be put back into the community. it would be a very social comfortable space for not just young people but anyone wanting to help us out.

I would really like a awesome skate park in Creswick. It would also be great if it could have a BBQ next to it so my family and I can have lunch there!. Having a skate park that would be suitable for bikes, scooters, skateboards and any other vehicle that you can use on the skate park will allow the whole community to join in and have fun. The old skate park was to dangerous and out dated. Also because of large sticks that fell on the ramps. It is also hidden for new comers to enjoy.**IDEA MAY BE AGGREGATED WITH #8**

Cost: The indicative cost to implement the idea.

Low estimated to require Council staff time only

Medium may involve some additional investment in advice or materials

High requires capital works investment

Timing: Recommended timing for implementation of idea (based on ease of implementation, cost, and relative importance of idea).

Immediate a simple idea that may be undertaken immediately

Short-term 3 to 12 months

Mid-term 1 to 5 years

Long-term 5+ years

Possible Partners: Groups or organisations that may assist in the implementation of the idea. In many instances Council may play a role as facilitator rather than provider.

4.1 KEY ACTIONSThe following pages seeks to provide a snapshot of the key Council actions to implement the ideas from the Hepburn Youth Engagement Strategy. Summarised by theme, these actions draw upon the key findings of section 3 of this report. The actions outlined in the following section are considered to be the most highly sought-after, and easily implemented idea arising from the engagement period.

It should be noted that although we consider these key actions to be realistic and easily implemented, it is expected that Council undertake their own project selection process. Such project feasibility considerations are beyond the scope of this report.

1.1

Youth Activities & Services Digital Community

A strong idea that emerged across many of the engagement forums, was the facilitation of a digital community platform that provided a single ‘go-to’ spot to find information about what’s on and where for young people across the Shire. This will also provide an opportunity for the Shire to recognise and support the community members that are engaged in supporting young people.

Over time this may become managed by the Shire’s young people.

Local natural assets

Promote outdoor activities for youth in and around the local area.

There is a wealth of information about walking tracks, biking tracks, water access, and other outdoor activities that exists across the Shire. Packaging this information in a way to appeal to young residents as well as tourists will help the youth feel welcome in these tourist-dominated locations.

Young people’s visitation to local natural assets may also be increased by promoting activities in the tourist shoulder or off-peak seasons. This may include things such as a scavenger hunt

Encourage diverse ideas

This engagement process yielded a significant number of ideas for activities across the Shire, which is an opportunity in its own right. Young people should be encouraged to continue to explore the establishment of new activities for their towns by promoting participation in Council’s Community Grants programs and other local networking and fundraising opportunities (fairs, festivals, markets etc).

Running the Hepburn Youth Ideas Competition annually or biannually would also continue to build this momentum.

2.1

School Holiday Program Co-ordination

School holiday activities provide young people with a valuable opportunity to try new activities and meet new people. While service providers across the Shire offer a range of school holiday activities, many of these programs are not full-day events, meaning that young people are reliant on transport by parents or friends to access these programs. This limitation means that many young people miss out on these opportunities. Assisting organisations to coordinate their activity start times to better align with one another would enable individual providers to gain higher participation, while also making access easier for young people.

This program may be further augmented by the provision of a school holiday program shuttle bus that aligns with working hours of parents in full-time employment. Enabling children to be dropped at a central location before parents’ work hours, then shuttled to different activities throughout the day.

Football and Netball Clubs for Community Use

Football and netball clubs across the Shire play an important role in community life, and are the central social hub for many young people. They are also home to community infrastructure (such as buildings, hardware, and equipment) that may be used to support other community uses. Due to the popularity of the clubs Council will continue to receive community requests for investment in these facilities. There exists an opportunity to maximise the impact of this investment by ensuring that the infrastructure at these sports clubs is made available for use by the broader community.

Free wifi in community buildings

Providing (and advertising) free wifi in key community buildings would enable them to be utilised by small youth-led clubs and organisations. While this may already be available in many places (such as libraries), Council should review the accessibility of these services by young people as there may be barriers to access- such as hours of operation, extent of wifi coverage, or complex log-in procedures.

Youth-led enterprise

Investigate opportunities to facilitate a youth-led enterprise in Daylesford. There are a number of ways this could take shape, including through partnerships with existing businesses, or as a stand-alone enterprise established in an existing Council building.

Council may pilot the idea by discussing the idea with local businesses, and seeking interest to run a short term program. The pilot should be co-managed by local youth, and be well advertised throughout the area. Should this idea gain traction, Council can use the evidence to source funding to scale-up from other sources.

Youth-run activities

There is a high level of demand for youth to create and lead small group activities such as gaming and other meet-ups. Excellent facilities for hosting such events already exist across the Shire, but there is a lack of knowledge amongst youth about the opportunities available to them. Directly marketing these opportunities to young people through appropriate channels would raise awareness of what is available, and empower self-starters to utilise local assets.

Under 18 events

Encourage local businesses to host under 18 events with a focus on live music performance. While targeting under 18s, these events should also be open to the public to provide young musicians with a chance to perform to a wide audience. These type of family-friendly events will align well with the existing tourism markets.

3.4

Social spots

Undertake an audit of locations suitable for social ‘hang out’ across the major towns. Specifically consider the availability of the following aspects of the spaces available:

- Weather protection- what time of the day and year can the space be used? - Technology- is there wifi or powerpoints? - Seating- is it conducive to group discussion? - Other users- who else is around? Will they welcome young people? - Terms of use- do you need to buy something to use the space? Does it need to be booked

in advance?

Release the findings of the audit to the local communities and look for opportunities to improve access to social spaces for young people so that each town has a network of easily accessible spaces for youth.

Create a ‘Social Spot’ register and encourage local businesses and service providers to register themselves and advertise that ‘Young Hepburnians are Welcome Here!’.

Civic Space

Investigate the creation of civic spaces which are appealing for young people to meet and socialise. These spaces should be located centrally within the towns to enable young people to feel connected to the wider community, rather than hidden away. This project may arise from the upcoming streetscape revitalisation projects across the Shire.

The design of these spaces should be done in close collaboration with young people, and include co-designed components such as artwork and planting.

THEME 4 RECOMMENDATIONS: PRIVATE SECTORTheme 4 Actions Cost Timing Possible Partners

Youth-led enterprise (As per 3.1)

The private sector should be encouraged to become actively involved in the creation of the youth-led enterprise. Many traders currently close before school-aged youth finished school, making socialising and after-school employment problematic. Businesses that explicitly market themselves towards young people may gain increased after school patronage.

Low - Medium Immediate Service providers across the Shire

4.1

Broaden local youth employment

Young people were frustrated at the limited employment options facing them, and many young people leave the Shire to work, either in the evenings, or permanently relocate after completing high school. Although Hepburn has a diverse local economy that includes cottage industries, short-stay and high end tourism services, adventure sports and traditional agriculture, many young people are limited to employment in food and beverage, or retail operators. Council should work with relevant state government agencies to examine employment pathways within the Shire, and provide youth with a range of options to work locally.

4.2

Youth-friendly opening hours

Local businesses not only provide young people with employment, but also with valuable opportunities to socialise with their friends and participate in society. The short opening hours of many local businesses, particularly in tourist “low-season”, encourages young people to patronise large franchises that are often open longer hours. Encouraging local businesses to extend their opening hours would have the double benefit of providing young people with more employment and socialising options, as well as encourage patronage of locally owned businesses.

Council may encourage private sector participation in this initiative by piloting longer opening hours over specific periods of time, and promoting the idea widely to young people across the Shire.

Ride Share system

With many young people relying on rides from friends to get to and from school as well as to attend extra-curricular events. There are many emerging ride-share technologies that may assist young people in getting around safely and cheaply.

While many of these are still in beta phase or not yet widely used in Australia, Council should investigate their use and promote them to the community. “Hitch-A-Ride” is a relevant example of a successful and safe ride-share platform.

Ride-share or carpooling apps could be piloted by clubs and organisation such as the Football Club to determine appropriateness of scale up.

Cycle transport

Many young people across the Shire use bicycles for short trips, but the distances between towns makes inter-town cycling difficult. Ensuring that public buses are equipped with cycle-holding facilities would enable young people to move around more easily.

Medium Mid-term Transport providers

5.3

Improved bus times

Public bus times do not provide useful connections for youth attending specific activities, including after school and weekend employment, or travelling for gigs and cinema times. In many instances

Council’s transport strategy should explicitly investigate the suitability of the Shire’s bus services in relation to youth destinations and timings.

4.2 COMPETITION SHORT-LISTIn shortlisting the Hepburn Youth Ideas Competition Council should consider all the feedback received across the engagement period. The top five ideas that are provided an opportunity to present their ideas to Council representatives should be diverse, and represent a range of ages and locations. In addition to this, we recommend the following criteria in shortlisting the ideas:• High number of votes. Consider aggregating the

votes for similar ideas. • Evidence that the idea was supported by other

members of the community. • A need for the idea was demonstrated through

feedback on other forums.• Thought has been given to how the idea would

take shape. Who would operate it? How would the money be spent?

• Alignment with existing Council policies and processes. While this is not essential, it is important that the idea would not be prohibited by other Council programs.

• Ease of implementation. Can the idea realistically get off the ground in a reasonable amount of time?
