This is a joint project between the Rural City of Murray Bridge and Wellbeing SA
THE CONCEPT of a Wellbeing Hub in Murray Bridge where people can participate in wellbeing, art, cultural and educational activities to live happier and healthier lives, is being investigated by Council in partnership with Wellbeing SA.
The community is being asked to provide feedback and help flesh out the Wellbeing Hub idea.
The Rural City of Murray Bridge is conducting a survey to identify local wellbeing initiatives and seek feedback on ideas to increase community wellbeing in the Council area.
Mayor Brenton Lewis said the COVID-19 pandemic had highlighted the importance of supporting community wellbeing through a range of initiatives and the Council was eager to help facilitate that aim.
“The Rural City of Murray Bridge is pleased to be partnering with Wellbeing SA to grow our focus on supporting and promoting wellbeing in our community,” he said.
“If you’re a member of our community, a community organisation, group or business running programs or activities in community spaces, to support physical, social and mental wellbeing, we’d love to hear from you.”
“Your input will provide us with valuable information about the types of programs, groups or activities that a Wellbeing Hub could offer.”
Mayor Lewis said the consultation aimed to discover where and how people engage in programs and activities to support wellbeing, and feedback collected through the survey will be used to determine whether the creation of a Wellbeing Hub might support greater participation and improved wellbeing.
Wellbeing SA Chief Executive Lyn Dean, said “Wellbeing SA is excited to be working with the Rural City Murray Bridge to support wellbeing and encourage the community to stay healthy, active and connected.”
Council representatives will meet face-to-face with individual community members, organisations, groups and businesses, to help gather feedback as part of the extensive consultation.
