Community Wellbeing Strategy
The City of Adelaide's Community Wellbeing Strategy sets our vision for creating a vibrant, connected and inclusive city.
This Strategy has been developed in a time of change and uncertainty for our city and community. The post-pandemic environment, inflation forecasts, housing and the cost of living crisis, social isolation, international democratic upheaval and climate change are all impacting our community.
Over the next decade, our population is expected to grow and become more diverse. Health, wellbeing, equity and inclusion will continue to play important roles in supporting a changing population.
Our goals
The Strategy outlines six goals that reflect local government’s role in wellbeing and health, as well as the City of Adelaide’s unique population profile, opportunities and challenges.
People feel welcome and connected - We will create opportunities for everyone to participate in community life, build strong connections and reduce isolation.
People are active and healthy - We will provide and support accessible spaces for participation in programs and events that encourage movement, play, and recreation for people of all ages, abilities and means.
People can shape their community - We will support people to contribute their cultural knowledge and lived experience, engage in decision-making, and shape outcomes that affect them.
People are resilient - We will strengthen people’s ability to respond to challenges, support each other during difficult times and build long-term resilience.
People keep learning throughout their lives - We will provide accessible learning opportunities, programs, and resources that enable people to develop skills, knowledge, and
confidence at any age.People feel safe where they live, work and spend time - We will create and maintain safe, welcoming, and accessible places and spaces, while promoting community awareness and safety initiatives.
