Guide to municipal public health and wellbeing planning

The Guide to municipal public health and wellbeing planning (2013) builds on the Environments for health municipal public health planning framework, which councils can use to consider the impact of the built, social, economic and natural environments on health and wellbeing.

It outlines key elements for effective planning for a healthy community represented within a six-stage planning cycle; recommends actions and milestones at each stage in this planning cycle to develop and implement a municipal public health and wellbeing plan (MPHWP); and provides references to relevant data and further resources.
