What is the Healthy Holroyd Project?
The Healthy Holroyd project is a national preventative health initiative that has been funded by the Australian Government.
The project aims to improve the knowledge and capacity of Holroyd residents to undertake and maintain healthy lifestyles. Through free and low cost exercise programs, cooking classes and nutrition talks, it is hoped that many Holroyd residents will eat better, play harder and live quality lives free from the risk of chronic weight related diseases such as diabetes.
Not just looking outwards, Council will also be looking into its own practices to ensure that our policies, plans and procedures are conducive to allowing and encouraging healthy, active lifestyles for our residents.
