Draft Public Health Plan
The Shire has developed a draft public health plan following community engagement earlier in 2024: Public Health Plan - Have Your Say East Pilbara
The Plan aims to address the physical, social, cultural and economic factors impacting people’s health and safety especially those in the community at risk. Three key focus areas were identified which align with the community vision and priority areas identified in the Shire’s Strategic Community Plan.
Community feedback will be collected via a survey conducted online and shopping centre pop up stalls. Community feedback will be important for the policy and will then be incorporated into the framework and future action plan.
The Plan provides a framework for an integrated and collaborative approach that will support and enhance the community’s ability to lead healthy, active and rewarding lives. It is designed to complement rather than duplicate Council’s existing frameworks and strategies.
The Shire of East Pilbara believes that the health and wellbeing of our community is paramount. We take a holistic view of health which is influenced by the interconnections between our social, cultural, economic and physical environments. Within those environments Council, often in partnership with the community or with other agencies, can create and maintain positive health and wellbeing outcomes.
