HEALTH of MACEDON RANGES RESIDENTS:

Life’s Good in the Macedon Ranges: VicHealthMEDIA RELEASE - 13 November 2012

Macedon Ranges residents report a greater sense of wellbeing than Victorians generally, according to the VicHealth Indicators Survey 2011 Results.

Residents gave their wellbeing an average score of 80.1 out of 100, compared with the state average of 77.5.

Other areas in which residents rated better than the Victorian average were on perceptions of safety, volunteering, citizen engagement, healthy eating and physical activity.

Macedon Ranges Shire Council’s Director of Community Wellbeing, Karen Stevens, said the results supported Council priorities around community wellbeing and liveability:

“It’s wonderful to see the Macedon Ranges performing so well on a number of indicators, particularly where these relate to Council services and priorities.

“It’s also worth noting that despite the high number of people commuting for over two hours a day, our residents are still more likely to share a meal with their families than Victorians as a whole,” she said.

The VicHealth Indicators Survey is a major Victorian population level survey that focuses on the social determinants of health rather than health outcomes.

Data is collected on wellbeing; alcohol expenditure; work, life and time; healthy eating and sedentary behavior; green space use and perceptions of safety; community engagement; arts and new media; social attitudes that influence health; and smoking policy.

VicHealth have produced succinct LGA Profiles which are available on their website:
