Have Your Say Day 2026

Join us for Have Your Say Day 2026, an evening of presentations from young leaders across the Northern Beaches.

Now in its fifth year, Have Your Say Day is a youth-led initiative which gives a platform for young people across the Northern Beaches to engage directly with elected leaders, youth sector professionals and community members, including their peers, and speak on important topics impacting their community. Presentation topics are taken from the results of the Have Your Say Day Youth Survey, which this year received over 2300 responses from local young people.

The event is coordinated by student leaders from local high schools across the Northern Beaches, known collectively as the Beaches Leadership Team.


Have Your Say Day is an initiative of Northern Beaches Council’s Youth Advisory Group and is proudly supported by Northern Beaches Council, the Office for Youth NSW and Stella Maris College.

Doors open: 5:30pm
Speeches begin: 6:00pm
Networking: 8:15-8:45pm
