The State of the City and Health Needs Analysis 2020 is a research report that provides an overview of Manningham’s health, wellbeing, environment and economy.
Based on data from more than 60 sources, the report presents a picture of Manningham before the COVID-19 pandemic. The report provides an eight to 10 year view of how Manningham has changed since the last State of the City report was published in 2013 and is a baseline from which to measure the impact of the pandemic on our community.
The data sets analysed in the State of the City and Health Needs Analysis 2020 were used to assess Manningham against the health priority areas contained in the Victorian Public Health and Wellbeing Plan (VPHWP) 2019-2023. This health needs analysis has been undertaken to help inform the development of our Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2021-2025, which is Council’s Municipal Health and Wellbeing Plan. The following data fact sheets were produced on the six VPHWP health priority areas that are most relevant to Manningham.
