Community Health and Safety Survey 2019

PART A: Public Health

The "Public Health Act 2016" requires local government authorities in WA to develop and implement a Public Health Plan. The plan uses data from literature research and community consultation processes to determine the health issues that are significant within the Town of Port Hedland. The plan outlines how the Town may address these issues through daily operational functions.

This part of the survey aims to achieve the following:
- Identify health issues perceived to be most important to the community
- Identify strategies that may be used by the Town to address health issues
- Determine the perceived quality of health-related services currently provided to the community
- Identify areas of improvement needed around the delivery and accessibility of Town services to benefit community health and wellbeing

PART B: Community Safety

The Town of Port Hedland is renewing its Community Safety Plan 2019-2021. We want to understand what community safety issues are of concern, what your perception of safety is and what strategies we should consider when planning and implementing a strategic plan. The plan will have four focus areas:

- Personal Safety
- Resilient Communities
- Safe Streets and Open Spaces
- Partnership 

We aim to correlate community experiences with place based data to understand how we can improve the gap between the perception and reality of safety in our community.
