Healthy and Active Kwinana
Healthy Lifestyles in Kwinana
The City of Kwinana is currently delivering a wide range of programs and initiatives that protect, promote, and improve community health and wellbeing. This includes physical activity and social connection programs such as Mums Who Move, Over 50s Fitness, Community Yoga, Dance-Based Fitness, Chair Yoga with Reclink, and Lifespan Dance at Koorliny.
The City also supports healthy eating through school holiday cooking classes, Crunch and Sip lunchbox workshops, and a variety of nutrition-based sessions. Recently, this has included Shopping on a Budget workshops, Grow and Cook sessions at Moordijt Kulunga Playgroup, and youth nutrition workshops at The Zone Youth Space.
The City is working in partnership with health organisations such as the Heart Foundation, Cancer Council, LiveLighter, and Diabetes WA to support healthy lifestyle promotion across the community. These partnerships help deliver education and awareness initiatives, including Helping Minds mental health workshops, a Stay On Your Feet falls prevention session, and a Smoke/Vape Free signage campaign at Darius.
Additional community engagement activities include Pop-Up Park sessions, Women’s Social Sessions at Recquatic, and the promotion of national health campaigns such as Men’s Health Week.
Together, these programs demonstrate the City’s ongoing commitment to supporting the health and wellbeing of all members of the Kwinana community.
Planning Ahead
The City is now in the process of updating its Public Health Plan, which will guide actions and priorities for the next five years.
This new plan will align with the State Public Health Plan (adopted in June 2025) and will be shaped by:
Local health data
Evidence-based public health strategies
Community feedback
Guidance from key health partners
We are currently reviewing what has been achieved, what the latest data tells us, and what matters most to our community.
Next steps: A draft version of the updated Public Health Plan will be released for community input in the coming months.
By continuing to work together, we can build a healthier, more connected Kwinana for everyone.
