Golden Plains Shire Youth Councillors had a fantastic opportunity to attend the March Council Meeting this week.
It was great to see local decision‑making in action and gain a deeper understanding of how Council works to support our community.

A big thank you to the Councillors, as well as Mayor Sharkey and Deputy Mayor Robbins, for taking the time to meet with us for a Q&A. We really appreciated the chance to ask questions, share ideas, and learn more about leadership at Golden Plains Shire Council.

Experiences like this help empower young people to have a voice and be part of shaping the future of our community.

Golden Plains Shire Youth Council is supported by the Engage! initiative, funded by the Victorian Government to empower young people to participate in leadership and local decision‑making. Interested in joining? Reach out to the Youth team via email at Goldenplainsyouth@gplains.vic.au

Outfitting a Tiny Gallery

If you are 12-25 come join us for this FREE hands-on workshop setting up a tiny street gallery for the Exhibition of Tiny Art being held in Inverleigh over 15th - 17th May.
We have a locally fabricated Tiny Art Gallery that needs a paint job.
This little gallery needs to be outfitted with benches for tiny people to sit on, it needs tiny art to hang on its tiny walls.
Help us by attending this workshop, creating teeny artworks and the littlest pot-plants to sit in the corner!
All materials supplied

Workshop led by Bec Wilson and members of the Exhibition of Tiny Art Project.
Venue: Bannockburn Cultural Centre
Date: Wednesday 15th April, 2026
Time: 11:30am - 1pm
