Municipal Public Health Plan

Health Priorities

The research and community consultation process indicated that there are four main health priority areas that need to be addressed in the Monash Municipal Public Health Plan 2007-2010. These priorities are closely aligned with the principles and strategic objectives described in Monash 2012 and the Monash Council Plan 2006-2010. They also reflect the priorities covered in the previous Monash Municipal Public Health Plan (2004-2006), those of adjoining local government areas and those contained within the Community Indicators Framework Victoria4.

The four health priorities are:
1. A Sustainable, Liveable and Safe Community
GOAL 1: To enable the community to feel confident that their environment is safe and sustainable.
2. Healthy Lifestyles
GOAL 2: To support the community in making healthy lifestyle choices.
3. An Inclusive and Connected Community
GOAL 3: To promote physical and mental health and wellbeing by reducing social isolation, creating strong human and social capital and responding to the needs of Monash's diverse community.
4. A Supportive Community
GOAL 4: To enhance the physical and mental health and wellbeing of the Monash community by maximising choice and facilitating access to universal health services and facilities.

GOALS are statements about preferred long-term outcomes.

OBJECTIVES describe what needs to take place in order to achieve the goal.

STRATEGIC ACTIONS describe how the objectives will be attained. Some of the strategic actions identified in the Monash Municipal Public Health Plan 2007-2010 are currently being implemented and will continue to be supported throughout the duration of this plan.
