Over the last 10 months staff from across the City have worked with key partners to review the Greater Bendigo Public Health and Wellbeing Plan 2017 – 2021. Together there has been reflection on learnings from work undertaken over the last four years, changes in population demographics and issues, and changes in national, state and local policy.

This has been brought together with outcomes from the Imagine Greater Bendigo community engagement process leading to the development of the draft Greater Bendigo Public Health and Wellbeing Plan 2021 – 2025.

The draft plan was been released for public comment until Monday September 6.

Feedback was then considered by Council prior to finalisation and endorsement of the plan on 18 October 2021.
