What is the Youth Hub?

Join a youth-friendly space to talk about all things local in your community.

This is your space to talk to eachother and with Council about what you are seeing as issues in the community. Your discussion here will help Ashburton District Council to better understand young people’s perspectives and needs, and provide a forum to engage young people in the Council’s decision-making.

Hi | Posted on 12th Feb 2025

I personally think that ashburton council creates a very big divide between the smaller communities like Mayfield Mount summers stavely methven and I feel that they make places feel very isolated and not a part of the ashburton and frankly the council is ridiculed for it people don't want to be a part of the ashburton community because of the way they feel dismissed and alone without support

Are you concerned about tertiary education?
