COMMUNITY LEADERS SEA CHANGE IN RESHAPING PORTLAND
Forty five of Portland’s community leaders came together last Thursday with some of the nation’s experts to determine what the Portland community can do to combat the rising levels of childhood obesity. This was the first workshop in a new approach to addressing the issue known as SEA Change Community leaders across business, schools, kindergartens, clubs, community organisations, local Council and state government departments, with community champions, took on the task of determining Portland’s response to supporting the community to achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
Glenelg Shire, Portland District Health, Dwauwurd-Wurrung Elderly & Community Health Service, and Southern Grampians Glenelg PCP have started the momentum in organising the process with the support of Deakin University. Following the second workshop to be held on 29th July the community will own their action plan for implementation.
