Public Health in New Zealand: Local Government’s Contribution to Wellbeing (pdf 885kb)
The purpose of this document is to highlight local government's contribution to wellbeing in New Zealand and include good practice examples that are occurring in the sector. It is not a comprehensive review of everything local authorities do to benefit public health; it acknowledges the multiplicity of roles local authorities have and the work they participate in (including work with other partners).
The document provides a selection of intersectoral examples of work that local government is involved in to aid understanding and for local authorities and other agencies to consider what might be useful to apply in other districts.
