| Building Partnerships Building Communities | | Our health and well being is influenced by our lifestyles and living conditions.
It is a legal requirement for all councils in Victoria to prepare a Municipal Public Health Plan every three years (Section 29A Health Act 1958). A Municipal Public Health Plan identifies current or potential health risks in the community and develops strategies that address these issues.
The goal of the planning process was to understand health and wellbeing through the perspectives of different life stages. Over 500 people were involved in consultations across the municipality.

| |
 | Review of the Moonee Valley Health Plan 2000-2003 | | Start of the health and wellbeing profile incorporating key information, data and policy directions | | Community consultations through questionnaires, focus groups and interviews | | Information derived from other consultation processes
