It’s been a long haul but the Longreach Youth Development Plan foundation research is done, dusted and delivered. Grappling with youth issues is challenging enough in Australia and young people in regional and remote areas face a unique set of challenges. It was a rewarding time of meetings, discussions surveys and desk research. Longreach Shire is a wonderful region with many wonderful people committed to making it the place to be. The young people were especially generous with their time and ideas. Thank you all and good luck with the next phase of the project.
