Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan
Council plays a vital role as leader, partner, advocate and planner in protecting and promoting health, now and into the future.
Under the Public Health and Wellbeing Act 2008, we are required to prepare a Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan every four years or include public health and wellbeing matters in the Council Plan.
Wellbeing commitment
Council is committed to promoting and protecting the wellbeing of our community across all life stages. We will achieve this through working to create and improve the physical, social, natural, cultural and economic environments that promote health and wellbeing.
2025-2029 Municipal Health and Wellbeing Plan
Health and wellbeing priorities for 2025-29 are:
A healthy and active community
A city that supports active living, access to nutritious food, and equitable healthcare services for all.
A resilient and thriving community
A city that strengthens mental wellbeing, social connections, and access to support services for all.
A sustainable and liveable city
A city that prioritises climate resilience, green spaces, and a clean, safe environment for all.
An inclusive and connected community
A city that values diversity and culture, encourages participation, and supports a sense of belonging for all.
Partners
Council cannot achieve change on its own. Council will work alongside a wide range of partners who deliver positive health and wellbeing outcomes for our community.
These include Victorian Department of Health, cohealth, Western Health, Western Public Health Unit (WPHU), Odessey House Victoria, Western Bulldogs Community Foundation, GenWest, Australian Mutlicultural Community Services (AMCS), Borderlands, AMES Australia, YMCA, Asylum Seeker Resource Centre, Neighbourhood Houses Victoria, Rainbow Network, Sustain, Victoria University, health and community service providers, local community organisations and groups, businesses, education and early childhood settings, state-wide/peak bodies and other councils.
