Young Professionals Forum
Priority One established the Young Professionals Forum to engage those aged in their 20s and 30s in the importance of economic development and to ensure their voice is heard on issues affecting the region’s growth and development. The forum also provides an opportunity to find out what young professionals like about living in the Bay, what’s not so great, and what can be done to make the region more attractive to this demographic.
The forum has been actively involved in local politics, including meeting with elected members and staff to better understand the issues the city is facing, as well as making submissions to planning processes to provide their views on how they would like to see the city develop. The group strongly advocates the importance of investment in the necessary cultural and community infrastructure to ensure the city develops in a manner that will encourage skilled young people to live and work here.
