Block Party listening post - Thursday 1 December 2016

2 December 2016

Children, young people and parents shared their ideas and feedback for the Council Plan at the Napier Street Block Party.

This annual youth-led event, organised by Yarra Youth Services, attracted hundreds of young people and families who enjoyed an afternoon of free performances, games and entertainment.

With assistance from Yarra's Youth Ambassadors, we spoke to nearly 100 young people about what they love about living in Yarra and the things they would like to see happen to make their community even better.

People told us they liked to play sport and enjoyed Yarra's parks. Ideas for improvements included more events and activities for young people and more playgrounds.
