Community Wellbeing Action Plan

Alexandrina Council has taken a fresh approach to engaging with the community. The Community Wellbeing Action Plan 2022-2026, was endorsed by Council in 2022.

The Community Wellbeing Forum helped informed the development of the Community Wellbeing Action Plan, as well as the Team connecting with individuals, groups, organisations, and networks across our community to have conversations about wellbeing.

The plan will inform the priorities for the team for the coming four years and outlines a holistic approach to improving the health and wellbeing of our community. Actions will be evaluated and reported back to the community to inform on the outcomes and progress of the plan. The value of the forums held across the region has been two-way. It has created opportunities to connect directly with community, listen with curiosity and develop relationships which will be maintained into the future, to inform the teams implementation of the plan and the community involved in the forums expressed the camaraderie of it was great, as each forum brought together people from across Alexandrina to have their say about wellbeing.  Participants also identified they gained a deeper understanding of the wellbeing needs of the Alexandrina region because of their role in undertaking broader consultation with target populations.
