Why are we developing a public health plan?
The new Public Health Act 2016 requires all local governments to develop a local Public Health Plan. This engagement is being conducted to help inform the Town’s Public Health Plan.
The information received will inform the Town’s future planning and assist with delivering programs and services that address health and wellbeing issues in the local government area.
What's happening now?
The main public participation of our plan has been completed. Please review the Draft Healthy Vic Park Plan.

SuperMacxover 7 years agoBetter Sustainable Waste Management Services
The waste services from all operational teams in Council and the greater community of the Town of Victoria need to have a committed and targetted approach to reduction of waste to landfill to meet the State Waste Policy requirements of Zero Waste to Landfill. This can save the Town, Ratepayers and Community a significant amount of waste levy contributions to State Government and Environment Levy funds which could be redirected to quality waste and social services for a much improved Public Health outcome. The Town's total operational contribution to Greenhouse gases and Climate Change impacts could be significantly reduced with a better committed and measured focus on Sustainable outcomes required under the Local Government Act, Town Planning and Development Act, Public Health Act, Environmental Protection Act and the Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Act.

Community gardens could be increased and we could run events at the gardens like teaching kids about how the gardens work and getting them involved in planting to teach them where healthy food comes from. We could also do community cooking competitions using the produce.
0SuperMacxover 7 years agoWater Quality and Air Emissions
The control of water quality in Buildings using water based systems is a critical public health requirement and must be included in the public health planning and regulatory compliance similar to other hazardous materials like asbestos, chemical impacts and standards of air quality from high volume traffic corridors and flight paths. Public health often is as much of the unseen as the seen and all aspects must be considered to have a complete plan.

joanieover 7 years agoDestination park/playground
Hawthorne Park is a huge park with a tiny playground at one end. There is potential to make it a "destination" park. I.e. the volcano in Belmont, a water play area like in Hyde park, the playground at sticky beaks cafe in king's park etc. It's a beautiful spot on a hill with great views of the city and plenty of street parking.
1caring16over 7 years agoSharing home grown produce
For those who have green thumbs and grow their own fruit or veg - wouldn't it be great to share? If you have more than you need why not share or exchange your excess produce with others? e.g. if you have too many lemons, and they are falling off the tree and going to waste, wouldn't it be great to share a few with others and maybe share a favourite recipe as well. Or trade a few lemons for a few tomatoes? Good for the community, encourages healthy eating and cooking and reduces waste.
0Penny61over 7 years agoRunning Track and exercise equipment.
Hi all I use GO Edwards park everyday - twice a day to walk dogs and exercise. I often think what an amazing space being used by so few people yet must cost a lot to maintain. It would be a brilliant place to have a proper running track and exercise equipment. It needs to actually have a specific use to warrant the upkeep and something a little different such as a running track would not take a lot to maintain and get people out and about. (I am referring to the oval and not the Wetlands area) Regards penny White

3Maxineover 7 years agoAn entry statement artwork and/or piazza area for musicians
Victoria Park is wonderful but the main entry to our fab community is car years, car yards, car yards. We need a large entry statement that epitomises who we are. Fremantle has the container ship arch but we have nothing. I feel this type of thing creates a sense of place. In addition I would love to see a small piazza (not another park) but a space for eating, talking, reading or musicians to play their instruments.
