Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan
Mansfield Shire Council (MSC) recognises that good health and wellbeing is essential to a healthy and vibrant community. The Mansfield Shire Municipal Public Health and Wellbeing Plan 2009 - 2013 (MPHWP) is a four year strategic plan that provides a framework ti improve the health and wellbeing of the Mansfield Shire Community.
The plan has been developed through a comprehensive planning process that has involved research into population demographics and the health trends of the Shire. The plan has also been informed by extensive consultation with residents, community groups, businesses and council staff.
The plan identifies the health status of the Mansfield Shire community and it addresses the most pressing health issues for the next four years. It promotes partnerships and networks, highlights local health issues, involves all areas of council and relevant local organisations and describes the links to regional, state and national health priorities. The plan also outlines Council's plan of action for the next four years in response to these needs and priorities.
The plan is supported by the Mansfield Shire Community Wellbeing Profile which provides detailed information about the people who live and work in the Mansfield Shire and the state of their health and wellbeing.
The MPHWP was adopted by Council at its meeting of 16 March 2010.
