LIMESTONE COAST REGIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH & WELLBEING PLAN 2021 - 2026
LIMESTONE COAST REGIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH & WELLBEING PLAN 1 THE LIMESTONE COAST LGA OVERVIEW
Introduction
The Limestone Coast Regional Health and Wellbeing Plan is a joint initiative of the following Councils located in the Limestone Coast Local Government Area (LCLGA):
Tatiara District Council Kingston District Council District Council of Robe Naracoorte Lucindale Council Wattle Range Council District Council of Grant
This is a five (5) year plan aimed at improving the health and wellbeing of the region’s residents. In preparing the plan, consideration was given to the objectives and targets in the South Australian Health Plan 2019-2024 “A healthy, liveable and connected community for all South Australians”. This vision is supported by four strategic priorities, under the headings of the public health approaches of promote, protect, prevent and progress.
Promote - Build stronger, communities and healthier environments Protect - Protect against public and environmental health risks and respond to climate change Prevent - Prevent chronic disease, communicable disease and injury Progress - Strengthen the systems that support public health and wellbeing
Each Council listed in the plan has different resources and capabilities with respect to the delivery of public health initiatives. These differences are recognised through the inclusion of a separate Action Plan for each Council. These can be viewed at the end of this document.
The specific actions the Regional Health Plan addresses include:
Improving access to services, facilities and social infrastructure, such as parks & gardens, recreational facilities and bike paths; Suicide prevention; Cultural awareness; Increasing opportunities for healthy eating & being active; Drug and alcohol use; Immunisation; and Adapting to the potential long-term changes in the region’s climate.
Each Council will be required to report on their progress in delivering the Plan every two years.
LIMESTONE COAST REGIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH & WELLBEING PLAN 2 PUBLIC HEALTH PLANNING
Under the South Australian Public Health Act, 2011 (The Act) South Australian Councils have a requirement for maintaining and reviewing their Regional Public Health Plan (RPHP). Under Section 51(a) of the Act, once prepared and in place, the plan must be reported on every two years and reviewed at least once in every 5 years.
The Act describes in more detail the function of Councils which is to remain autonomous and determine the public health priorities and subsequent activities within their Council area. The Act recognises Local Government’s role as:
Public health authorities for their areas; Preserving, protecting and promoting public health within their areas; Cooperating with other authorities involved in the administration of the Act; Ensuring adequate sanitation measures are in place in their areas; Identifying risks to public health within their areas; Assessing activities and development to determine and respond to public health impacts; Providing or supporting activities within their areas to preserve, protect or promote public health; and Providing or supporting the provision of immunisation programs for the protection of public health.
The LCLGA 2021-2026 Regional Public Health & Wellbeing Plan is a statement and action plan of what the participating Councils will do to help achieve the identified goals during the next 5 years.
What is Public Health
The South Australian Public Health Plan describes public health as follows:
“Public health connects with every aspect of our community’s life and can be affected by a very wide range of factors and issues. Public health responsibilities are often dispersed across all spheres of government, and many other departments, agencies, organisations and groups. Most of what impacts on public health is actually in the domain of sectors that don’t have a specific health role as part of their primary responsibility. Public health is about the social conditions, the environmental character and the opportunities that are available or need developing. It’s about the very fabric and structure of our physical and social environments.
Public health in the 21st century has a lot to do with the way our community is organised and how our society shares its benefits and advantages. It’s about how we protect ourselves and how we rise to challenges and risks that threaten our communities, whether natural disasters, widespread diseases, or social or economic shocks that strain the very fabric of our communities. It reflects how resilient we are, how we recover from hardships and breakdowns, and how we can together rebuild and restore our sense of wellbeing and community.
Therefore, public health is about all of us - preventing the causes that make us sick and building on those things that protect us and improve our health and wellbeing.”

LIMESTONE COAST REGIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH & WELLBEING PLAN 4 POLICY & LEGISLATIVE CONTEXT
The SA Public Health Act, 2011 (the Act) aims to preserve, protect and promote public health and reduce the incidence of preventable illness, injury and disability. In South Australia Public health is influenced by how safe people feel, the opportunities people have to work, study, participate in community life, undertake physical activity, and eat healthy food.
The Act aims to encourage and assist people to live healthier lives and to be well.
The Act requires Public Health Plans to:
Provide a comprehensive assessment of the state of public health in the region; Identify existing and potential public health risks; Develop strategies to address and eliminate or reduce those risks; and opportunities to promote public health in the region; and Address any public health issues, strategies, and policies specified by the Minister.
The Act creates a role for Councils to become the public health authorities for their region. Each Council must prepare a public health plan for either a single council region or, as in the case of this Plan, a group of Councils may prepare a joint Regional Public Health Plan with the agreement of the Minister for Health. The Act also provides for formal partnership agreements with state and federal government agencies and non-government organisations to become Public Health Partner Authorities which assist Councils to achieve their public health objectives.
Section 51(6) provides guidance for Public Health Plans and Sections 5.1(8) and 5.1(9) provide a framework for Public Health Plans. The Health and Wellbeing Plan in principle follows the guidance provided in Section 51.
The “SA Public Health Act 2011” defines public health as follows:
Section (3) (1) Public health means the health of individuals in the context of the wider community: (2) Without limiting the definition of public health in subsection (1), public health may involve a combination of policies, programs and safeguards designed - (a) To protect, maintain or promote the health of the community at large, including where one or more persons may be the focus of any safeguards, action or response; or (b) To prevent or reduce the incidence of disease, injury or disability within the community.
LIMESTONE COAST REGIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH & WELLBEING PLAN 5 POLICY & LEGISLATIVE CONTEXT
The State Public Health Plan 2019-2024 maintains a focus on:
Services and programs at libraries or community centres Climate risk management planning Community gardens or local fruit and veg swaps Services that celebrate and promote cultural diversity Footpaths & walking trails Safe & nutritious food The way our communities are planned Safe drinking water Events that bring community together Immunisation services Disability inclusion services Volunteering & community involvement Recreation facilities and sports grounds Wastewater management Parks & shaded playgrounds Health information & education programs Skate & dog parks Smoke & alcohol-free environments
Based on the population health needs assessed by the LCLGA Regional Public Health & Wellbeing Plan, public Health activity in the future will also address:
Obesity; Alcohol & Drugs Physical activity; Mental health; and Healthy eating; Public Amenity and Social Health Family violence;
“Public health is about everyone working together to achieve our vision for a healthier South Australian community’
LIMESTONE COAST REGIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH & WELLBEING PLAN 6 HOW IT COMES TOGETHER
The Limestone Coast Regional Health & Wellbeing Plan has been developed in consultation with a range of stakeholders and is based on key data for the region. The key strategies within the document align directly back to the four (4) priorities of the State Health Plan, ensuring each Councils individual Action Plan work towards the key targets identified within the State Public Health Plan 2019-2024.

LIMESTONE COAST REGIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH & WELLBEING PLAN 7 THE LIMESTONE COAST REGION, HEALTH AND WELLBEING
About the Region
The Limestone Coast region of South Australia is strategically located midway between Melbourne and Adelaide, covering just over 21,000km2. The region extends from Bordertown and Keith in the north to the coastal fishing ports of Port MacDonnell and Carpenter Rocks in the south. It is bound by the South Australian and Victorian State border in the east and by the Coorong and the sea to the west.
The Limestone Coast region currently represent a population base of more than 66,000 residents which is around 3% of South Australia’s population and contributes 15% of state Gross Domestic Product with significant potential to deliver much more value to our state.
The region contains a diverse mix of industry sectors resulting in a dynamic business community. The region also has access to significant natural resources in its stable groundwater and fertile lands.
This availability gives the region a competitive advantage for horticulture and other farming activities and has led to strong economic activity in broad acre farming, horticulture, viticulture and forestry. In the Limestone Coast region, Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing generated over $1,178 million in 2017/18.
This Agricultural activity is complemented by a strong manufacturing base and transport industry, with several major employers located in the region.

LIMESTONE COAST REGIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH & WELLBEING PLAN 13 LIMESTONE COAST REGION HEALTH AND WELLBEING ISSUES
Whilst the natural resources and economic indicators are positive for the region, there are a number of issues that impact on the future health and well-being of the Limestone Coast.
The majority of the Limestone Coast region has been identified as outer regional indicating a moderate level of remoteness when compared with other South Australian locations.
The region reflects a moderate degree of socioeconomic disadvantage. There were several data sets available to the planning group that have been evaluated to determine the health and well-being issues impacting on communities within the Limestone Coast Region.
In particular the Country SA Primary Health Network (CSAPHN) Needs Assessment Report provided considerable data regarding the determinants of health, the burden of disease and the health risks plus demographic and social issues information. Established by the Federal Government to replace Medicare Locals, 31 Primary Health Networks became operational throughout Australia on July 1st, 2015 with primary objectives of increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of medical services for patients, particularly those at risk of poor health outcomes. The CSAPHN region covers all South Australia with the exception of the Adelaide metropolitan area.

Socioeconomic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA)
After each census, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) derives a series of indexes, known as SEIFA, which quantify aspects of disadvantage. The index of Relative Socioeconomic Disadvantage (IRSD) summarises a range of information about the economic and social conditions of people and households within an area and is commonly used to quantify the relative level of overall disadvantage in small areas.
The IRSD scores each area by summarising attributes of the population, such as low income, low education attainment, high unemployment and jobs in relatively unskilled occupations. It reflects the overall average level of disadvantage of the population in an area.
The IRSD is scaled so that the national average score is 1,000 and areas with a score above 1,000 are considered less disadvantaged (ie better off) than the Australian average and those below 1000 are more disadvantaged. Generally, the Limestone Coast sits in the 981- 1050 at 977 which is slightly above that for Regional SA, of 945, indicating that the its population was relatively less disadvantaged. The District Council of Robe (1011) and Grant District Council (1018) have the most socioeconomically advantaged populations, with Wattle Range the most disadvantaged with a score of 940.
