Partnering to create healthier, thriving local communities!

September 16, 2025
Partnering to create healthier, thriving local communities!

We know when we work alongside community, health and wellbeing thrive.

Our Health Promotion and Prevention team has partnered with local schools, sporting clubs, councils, community groups and service providers to shape healthier environments – places where everyone feels included, supported, and able to thrive.

Through our new Integrated Community Health & Health Promotion Plan 2025–2029, we’re focusing on four shared priorities:

  • Good mental health and wellbeing
  • Nourishing food environments
  • Active living
  • Prevention of gender-based violence

This plan is about more than programs – it’s about creating everyday opportunities for healthier, more connected communities across Banyule and Merri-bek.

Together, we can build a future where health and wellbeing are part of daily life, for everyone.
