Community Wellbeing Strategy

We’ve developed a Community Wellbeing Strategy to help create a more inclusive and healthy community.

This is our commitment to making Port Stephens a place where wellbeing is prioritised, and people can lead happy, healthy and connected lives no matter their age, background or ability. This Strategy focuses on creating inclusive places that encourage participation in community life, making sure our community feels safe in our public spaces and building our resilience, capacity and skills to ensure our community can adapt and thrive in times of change.

It also incorporates our Disability Inclusion Action Plan, so we have a holistic view of the wellbeing of our whole community.
The Strategy has been developed after three phases of community engagement, with over 770 people sharing their time, ideas and opinions that informed the priorities and key objectives
