    Sorell Council Area– Community Food Access Profile

    SORELL COUNCIL AREA– COMMUNITY FOOD ACCESS PROFILE Introduction & disclaimer – This profile has been developed by the Heart Foundation Tasmania as part of the Healthy Food Access Tasmania Project. The information highlighted in this profile was gathered in 2014/15 and it provides an overview for the local government area. For any questions or additional information please contact the Heart Foundation. Why does access to healthy food matter? Limited or poor access to healthy food has both health and social consequences. There are many health conditions and diseases which are associated with or caused by a poor diet, as a result of poor economic or physical access to healthy food. These diseases include heart disease1, diabetes2, some cancers3 and other health conditions such as overweight4 and obesity5. Reduced access to healthy food can cause poor physical development in children and impact their learning and attendance at school6. For adults who have poor access to healthy food it is often very stressful and causes them to be anxious and ashamed7. This often also means they avoid social occasions in their communities and with family and which can lead to them becoming socially isolated8. How are the residents of Sorell doing? Currently 49.9 % of adults living in Sorell eat the recommended two pieces of fruit per day and 7.6 % eat the recommended five serves of vegetables, compared with 42% and 9.8% for state averages9. Sorell residents are eating more fruit and but less vegetables in 2013 when compared with 2009. For adults living in Sorell, 21.5 % are obese9. Compounding this 17.2 % of Sorell adults report that their health is poor or fair, although this is less than the 19% state average10.

  • Southern Tasmanian Coastal Saltmarsh Futures a Preliminary Strategic Assessment

    Southern Tasmanian Coastal Saltmarsh Futures a Preliminary Strategic Assessment

    Southern Tasmanian Coastal Saltmarsh Futures A Preliminary Strategic Assessment Vishnu Prahalad and Jill Pearson March 2013 Executive summary Southern Tasmanian coastal saltmarshes form a crucial ‘link’ between terrestrial and marine systems, providing critical ecological functions that support a range of ecosystem services and biodiversity values. Close to a half of these important coastal ecosystems have already been lost or degraded due to land use change and impacts, sporadic and variable management approaches and lack of broad awareness of the important values provided by these habitats. In addition, future climate change and sea level rise projections leave these ecosystems in a precarious position given that they occupy shores within 1 m of high water. This raises the question: is there a future for coastal saltmarshes in southern Tasmania? The Southern Tasmanian Coastal Saltmarsh Futures project has completed an inventory and mapping of the current extent of coastal saltmarshes throughout the southern region of Tasmania, as well as ‘future footprint’ mapping under sea level rise conditions out to 2100, to further assess this question. The inventory database, which sits alongside the mapping of current extent, brings together a range of environmental and management related information that has either been collected in previous projects or is presented here for the first time. This report provides: an introduction to coastal saltmarshes in southern Tasmania an outline of the mapping methods used summary results from the inventory and mapping components a brief discussion on ecosystem based management as a possible way forward for improved management of coastal saltmarshes into the future. Mapping of the future footprint of coastal saltmarshes in southern Tasmanian shows that for the areas where modelling data is available, approximately 75% of coastal saltmarshes have either ‘some’ or ‘sufficient’ room to move.
