Help us to create a Healthier Bayswater. Your ideas will help us develop a plan that delivers programs and initiatives you want to see.
The City’s first Public Health and Wellbeing Plan 2019-2024was a five-year plan aimed at improving the health and wellbeing of the community while meeting the future legislative requirements of the Public Health Act 2016. This plan focused on addressing key public health priorities by encouraging the community to live healthier lifestyles through healthy eating and exercise.
From 17 November 2023, the City sought the community’s input for the development of the new Public Health and Wellbeing Plan 2024 - 2029 via an online survey or face-to-face at pop-up engagement activities at Noranda Shopping Centre and Bayswater Twilight Markets. Hard-copy of the survey, were also available at City Libraries, The Civic Centre, Bayswater Waves, The RISE, Morley Community Centre and the Bayswater Community Centre
Outcomes Report
The community engagement phase is now complete, with 308 people from across the City of Bayswater sharing their exercise habits, health concerns and opinions of City Health and Wellbeing programs with us. The data captured will be a key resource in developing the new Public Health and Wellbeing Plan. Some of the key findings from the survey are:
The top three health concerns among respondents are not getting enough physical activity, mental health, and not making healthy food choices
While satisfaction with Health and Wellbeing programs is high, there is room to improve in terms of raising awareness of what the City offers
City infrastructure and assets, and facilities play a role in supporting people's health and wellbeing, with the most frequently mentioned being the City's walking and bicycle paths.
The survey also provided insight into barriers to participation and how the City can support people's health and wellbeing in the future. You can access the full report here.
What’s Next
Council has approved an extension for the current Public Health and Wellbeing Plan 2019-2024 until December 2025. The delay will allow the City’s new Public Health Plan to align with the State Public Health Plan due for release in 2025, and the City’s new Strategic Community Plan, which is currently undergoing a major review.
This survey is now closed.
