The City of Rockingham’s new Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2023-2028

The City of Rockingham is currently in the process of developing a new Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2023 – 2028. The new Strategy will build on the successes and learnings from the implementation of the previous Health and Wellbeing and the Volunteering Strategies, and will focus on key elements such as physical activity, healthy habits, community capacity, mental wellbeing, volunteering and social connections.

The City wishes to receive input from Sport and Recreation Clubs as well as State Sporting Associations. Clubs and SSA’s are invited to contribute to the City’s next Health and Wellbeing Strategy through completing the Health and Wellbeing Survey. The City of Rockingham wants to understand how they can best support you, as a club, organisation or association, to live a healthy, happy and connected life.

If you are a Sport and/or Recreation Club, please register for one of the following sessions to share your input by emailing [email protected]:

  • Wednesday 10 May, 6pm – 8pm – Gary Holland Community Centre, 19 Kent Street, Rockingham
  • Thursday 11 May, 10am – 12pm –  Port Kennedy Community Centre, 9 Clipper Drive, Port Kennedy
  • Saturday 13 May, 10am – 12pm – Baldivis Indoor Sports Complex, Eighty Road, Baldivis

If you cannot make one of these sessions, alternatively you can provide your feedback via the Health and Wellbeing Survey 

When complete, the new Strategy will guide the development and implementation of actions which aim to assist the City’s community to live a happy, healthy and connected life over the next five years and beyond.
