We support our residents to be healthy, strong and resilient and will embrace and celebrate our diverse community.
05 A healthy, inclusive, and resilient community
We will work with our community and build on our partnerships with community health providers and community organisations to tackle the most pressing health and wellbeing priorities to improve health outcomes across the community.
Strategic priorities
- support improved health, wellbeing and resilience of all individuals, families and groups within our community;
- embrace diversity and value all people, promoting a community that welcomes and includes everyone;
- support accessible pathways into services, activities and facilities for people of all ages and abilities, particularly those most in need; and
- deliver services, events and programs that recognise and celebrate our broad interests and differences and promote participation for all.
Related strategies and plans
Community safety
Our Vision is for Glen Eira to be a place where people feel safe and able to participate in community life. We want our community to be connected, inclusive and supportive of all individuals and groups.
Community wellbeing
Health and wellbeing are vital for everyone, with wellbeing able to extend beyond the individual. When people are
healthy and content they also contribute to the wellbeing of others: family, friends, their community and society. A
greater quality of life for every individual in Glen Eira means that we live in a community that is positive and resilient.
Equity and inclusion
Pets and animals
We have a range of local laws and regulations relating to pets and animals, from registration to off-leash areas and reporting problems. We can also help you with pet and animal issues. For example, the Domestic Animals Act 1994 requires Councils to develop a plan and review it yearly.
Reconciliation
Our vision for reconciliation is for a unified, respectful and thriving community that embraces Australia’s First Peoples for their experiences of the past, their resilience in the present and their aspirations for the future.
