PUBLIC HEALTH PRIORITIES SURVEY 2026

The Shire of Mingenew would like your help creating a Public Health Plan for our community. The Public Health Act 2016 requires each local government to produce and publish a public health plan by 4 June 2026 and development of the Plan is a priority action within our Corporate Business Plan.

We want to hear your views about what good health and wellbeing means to you, and any difficulties you may have in achieving your goals. Your feedback and input in the below survey will help us identify what is important to the community, what your needs are and areas for improvement.

Your privacy is important to us. To ensure survey confidentiality we do not ask for your personal identifying details, and we will only be publishing grouped data, not individual responses.

This survey will help identify local priorities. It should take around 10 minutes to complete.
