Greater Shepparton’s 10-Year Public Health Strategic Plan 2018–2028 (Health Plan) is the long term public health strategic planning tool used to guide the direction of public health efforts across the community.

The Health Plan “tells the story” of our unique Municipality and Council’s vision is to create Greater Shepparton as the most liveable region.

‘A liveable place is one that is safe, attractive, socially cohesive and inclusive, and environmentally sustainable; with affordable and diverse housing linked to employment, education, public open spaces, local shops, health and community services, and leisure and cultural opportunities; via convenient public transport, walking and cycling infrastructure’. (Lowe, 2013)
