Mornington Peninsula Shire plays a vital role in protecting and promoting the health and wellbeing of our community. We work to ensure people have opportunities to live, learn, work and play in environments that support good health and wellbeing.
As the closest level of government to the community, Council is well placed to understand local needs and respond to diverse challenges and opportunities.
To support our planning, we’ve developed a Health and Wellbeing Data Profile 2025 <hyperlink>, which brings together key health and social indicators for the Mornington Peninsula. This resource informs our priorities and actions, outlined in the Council Plan and Public Health and Wellbeing Plan.
