On Monday 20th
January Council will be commencing our community engagement in regards to the Regional
Public Health and Wellbeing Plan that we are undertaking in collaboration
with the City of Mitcham.
This engagement is aimed at
seeking feedback from our community into the key directions
of health and wellbeing to be included in this new Regional Plan. These
directions are:
Promoting vibrant community
places
Planning environments for
physical activity and accessibility for all.
· Preparing for the public
health impacts of climate change and bushfire and flood emergencies.
·
Planning for intergenerational
population mix.
·
Engaging business in promoting
healthy lifestyles.
·
Engaging with people who work
full-time.
·
Opportunities for planning and
partnerships with community agencies and the aged care and education sectors.
· Strengthening the role of community
centres and libraries.
· Community ownership of the
heath agenda including healthy eating and a clean and green environment.
· Exploring shared service
opportunities for environmental health protection.
The results of this
engagement initiative will be considered and incorporated in the development of
the draft Strategy, which is due to be presented to Council in March 2014.
