Young People in Porirua – Our Future
Children and young people (aged 0-24 years) in Porirua make up 40% of our City population – this is the largest age group in Porirua and one of the largest youth populations in New Zealand.
Young people are defined as an age-group 12-24 years old - the general time of moving from a child to an adult and becoming independent. The 12-24 years age group is used in the National Youth Development Strategy Aotearoa and by the Porirua City Council and in other local government youth strategies.
Porirua City Council acknowledges that the more positive experiences young people have growing up in Porirua, the more positive the benefits will be for them as adults, and for their children, and the whole of Porirua City. Porirua City Council's Youth Development Team supports youth development within council and across agencies and communities.
