Environmental Quality and Community Wellbeing
Planning supports development proposals that reduce air pollution, enable active lifestyles, and improve social cohesion to enhance community wellbeing through quality built and natural environments with good accessibility and connectivity.
The environment in which we live, work and socialise plays a significant role in the health and wellbeing of individuals and communities. The quality of the built and natural environment, accessibility to facilities, and connectivity between areas all have the potential to impact on the liveability of a place as well as a person's wellbeing. Planning has a key role in supporting development proposals that reduce air pollution, enable an active lifestyle, and improve social cohesion to enhance community wellbeing.
