The Youth Council provides an opportunity for young people in the region to have a voice in helping determine Council's priorities and highlight issues that need addressing, particularly programs and services relating to youth.

Youth Councillors are directly involved in arranging youth events and facilities in our Region. This has included skate park working parties in Mudgee, Gulgong and Kandos; Youth Week preparations; and movie screenings to name a few.

To see events that are currently being run for youth by Youth Council, please visit www.mwrcyouth.eventbrite.com
