Why is the Strategy being updated?

    The 10-year strategy was developed through extensive community engagement, stakeholder consultation and background research. It was endorsed by Council in October 2021and submitted to the Victorian Minister for Health as our Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan 2021-2025.

    The updated 2025 document includes current engagement, consultation and research - data which has helped to inform key priorities, community aspirations, and needs and gaps in service provision and community support.

    What has changed?

    Through this recent research and community engagement, we have confirmed that the six focus areas and strategic priorities of the 2021 Strategy remain important and relevant for our community.
