"What we want to make sure that when they are in the city, their use of the spaces is in a safe and responsible way," Ms Hardaker said.
"The Youth Action Pla0n was developed by the last youth council (now reconvened as the Youth Advisory Panel) one of those actions that we are asking is they have a look at that action plan and to see whether that needs to have some review and changes."
Carl Jackson is a member of the Hamilton City Council Youth Advisory Panel, Taiohi advisory panel, and is in the early stages of launching a youth suicide prevention trust.
Mr Jackson is concerned with the lack of activities in the city for people between the ages of 18-24, and the lack of attendance at events that are held.
"Not only is there a problem with little knowledge of events, I think there are a lot of activities being aimed at the wrong age groups. Hamilton has such a huge population of young people between 18-24 and they can cause a lot of trouble. When you look at the way the night clubs are being run, you go there and you see people fighting, see people kicking things on the way home. We're not dealing with youth in the CBD in a proactive way. We have nothing positive in the CBD drawing people in. They need exciting events that are going to draw them away from alcohol."
Ms Hardaker said the council has to be clear about what their role is, "and that is not everything".
"We have a very specific role to play in public spaces. Lots of young people who come in and use the city during the day time are there working or training. Those are good things in that particular age group 17-plus."
As part of the City Safety Plan, a skate park for youth could be on the cards.
"I've got lots of photos of amazing skate parks on my phone," said Ms Hardaker. "We have done our Destination Playground Policy, we didn't include skate parks because we knew they related to an older young person. We made a commitment then to look at skate parks and what we can do in the city for skate parks, and that time will be coming soon.
"A lot of research needs to go into skate parks, there is a changing use of skate boards. I can tell you the one they recently put up in Christchurch is completely amazing."
Mr Jackson also suggested a skate park for the city as a way to get loitering youth out of Garden Place.
