The Logan Public Health Plan 2003-2008 (LPHP) is a five-year municipal public health plan for Logan. It outlines the strategic direction required to achieve a measured improvement in public health for the Logan community and is a strategic tool for building partnerships to solve health and quality of life issues at the local level or place based.
The development of the Logan Public Health Plan aims to set the framework for:
- Enhancing integrated and collaborative planning for improved ‘health’ in Logan;
- Implementing effective planning mechanisms, which identify and respond to local public health needs;
- Identifying how services can be better accessed by the community for their health needs; and
- Engaging the community in decision-making on health needs and services.
The development process aimed to capture and articulate the outcomes needed to enhance community well being and quality of life in Logan by the Logan community as a whole, involving residents, community groups, health agencies, and government and non-government organisations.
Approximately 560 individuals contributed to the production of the plan through focus groups, theme groups and using statistical health profiling.
It is envisaged that the actions in the plan will be used in the allocation of resources and planning of initiatives to promote population health in the Logan community. The 'Action updates' are a mechanism to capture and share information, achievements, outcomes and success stories on the implementation of actions.
