Physical activity and health planning
Our approach

ROSS Planning will facilitate a tailored approach to developing active and healthy planning for your organisation.

Through extensive understanding, experience and skills in the health and wellbeing arena, we will provide a holistic, over-arching framework encompassing feasible recommendations that support environments for active and healthy living.

Investing in the long term and empowering the community through strategy and vision, we can help build the assist in building capacity of the community from the inside out.  This, along with a reliable evaluation framework, will drive continuous learning and improvement.

Working closely with your organisation and the community, we are confident we can highlight and reinforce the positive relationships between active and healthy communities and improved social, cultural, economic and environmental outcomes.

 
Case studies

Ipswich City Council – Needs Assessment for the Active

The key recommendations of this needs assessment focussed on current and future health priorities, and strategic partnerships and collaborations. It presented a range of localised data down to neighbourhood level.

The needs assessment also provided an audit of existing programs, services and infrastructure, clearly defined Council’s roles and responsibilities and identified major barriers and constraints for Council and the community to overcome to deliver better lifestyle outcomes in Ipswich.

Kilcoy Physical Activity and Nutrition Report

This report was a series of strategies, priorities and recommendations to improve and promote a healthier community that was within the capabilities of key stakeholders and the community to deliver.

The recommendations were based on a whole-of-community approach to achieving ‘a lot with a little’ by focussing on existing networks and momentum to increase and improve the physical wellbeing and health of Kilcoy residents.
