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.
