Health & Your Environment
The Shire of Peppermint Grove provides a variety of environmental health services to residents, businesses and visitors to the area. The Shire’s role in improving community health and wellbeing is diverse. From the infrastructure it builds and provides to encourage active lifestyles, to early childhood health services to waste management and safer public places and spaces.
In 2026 the Shire in consultation with the community and the North Metropolitan Health Service prepared our inaugural Garden Shire Public Health Plan 2026-2031 (GSPHP). The GSPHP is an informing strategy under the Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework that aligns with the State Public Health Plan introduced under the Public Health Act 2016. It further aligns with the Shire’s Strategic Community Plan 2021-2031 (Strategic Community Plan) and Corporate Business Plan 2026/2027 -2030/2031 (Corporate Business Plan). By placing public and health and wellbeing at the forefront of the Shire’s strategic planning efforts, it will help to reduce the social and economic costs associated with higher rates of obesity, poor physical and mental health, social isolation and increased crime. The GSPHP places public health at the centre of the Shire’s local policy framework.
