Young people encouraged to entertain their interests in future infrastructure

Infrastructure Victoria is updating the state’s 30-year infrastructure strategy and wants to hear from young Victorians as they look at the state’s infrastructure needs for the next three decades.

If you are aged 15 to 25 and live in Victoria, register to attend the Young People’s Forum in Melbourne on 20 May 2023.

The Forum will be held online and in person on the following dates and times:

Meet and Greet: Wednesday 17th May, 6pm-8pm (online)

Full Day Meeting: Saturday 20th May, 10.30am-5pm (Melbourne Connect, University of Melbourne, 700 Swanston St, Carlton)

You’ll be paid $140 for your time, and regional Victorians will be supported with travel and accommodation costs too.

Attendees must also not be an elected representative of any level of government, a paid employee of a political party, a staff member of Infrastructure Victoria or a child of any of the above.

To sign up: visit sortitionfoundation.org/infrastructure or call freephone 1800 979 787 Mon-Fri 9am-5pm
