This comes as Horsham's inaugural youth council, formed in 2019, will reach the end of its term.

Youth councillors serve for 18-month periods, reporting the opinions of young people to council and offering youth services through Horsham's youth community hub The Station.

Mayor Robyn Gulline said the youth council was a great opportunity for anyone seeking to have a stronger voice in their community.

"They have been instrumental in helping us shine a light on issues facing young people," Cr Gulline said.

"It is important that we have a strong voice from the youth in our community so that their views, opinions and ideas are well represented.

"Council and the broader community will benefit greatly from their input. Young people are the future of our community and will be at the forefront of change for many years to come.

"I sincerely thank all our youth councillors for their hard work and dedication to helping improve our community."

Applications are open until June 30, with the youth councillors to be appointed mid-July.
