Youth of Mitchell
The definition of young people is those aged between 12 and 25 years. The 2006 census indicated that 29.4% of the population of Mitchell Shire was aged between 0 and 17 years. It is estimated that there are currently over 6100 young people living in Mitchell Shire. The youth population is forecast to increase substantially in the next ten years, particularly in the south of the shire, in areas such as Wallan and Beveridge.
