The Glenorchy City Council implemented the Glenorchy Health Communities Plan in September 2014. The 10-year plan has three goals which are:

1. A natural and built environment that encourages active lifestyles and healthy eating;

2. A cohesive and inclusive community with well-developed social and community networks and assets; and

3. Improved personal health knowledge, practices and lifestyles.

The plan replaces the 2008-2013 Recreation Plan and will guide the Council in its pursuit of ‘improved health and wellbeing of the people of Glenorchy through increased awareness of, and participation in, physical and wellness activities’.

I play soccer and really enjoy it. I also play cricket and got a wicket and almost caught the ball. I play sport to stay fit and be healthy. I lost six kilos in 12 weeks and am really happy with that. I would also rather be outside playing sport than inside wasting time on the computer. I also prefer to walk than catch the bus.
