Land use planning for equitable health outcomes

Commissioned by the Western Sydney Health Alliance, this project assesses the NSW State Environmental Planning Policies and the Local Environmental Plans of the eight Western Parkland City local government areas against the healthy planning principles set out in NSW Health’s Healthy Built Environment Checklist. Our report showcases whether and how these land use planning instruments consider and promote these principles in delivery positive health outcomes for all sections of the community. It provides an evidence-base for alliance groups, industry and government agencies alike to advocate for stronger considerations of health and equity in our land use planning.
