About Lift Local grants
A $20,000 Lift Local grant was offered to each council in 2023.
Local Governments are using their Lift Local grants to support activities that strengthen planning for health and wellbeing.
Councils are working on a wide range of initiatives, like finding out more about an issue, consulting with their community, gathering data, youth engagement, food security research, Aboriginal Cultural Awareness and celebration, inclusivity and climate resilience.
The Local Government Health and Wellbeing Network
The Local Government Association of Tasmania is working with Public Health Services to facilitate the Local Government Health and Wellbeing Network (the Network) for people working in local government. Together the Network are sharing, learning, and supporting each other around the Lift Local grant projects to improve health and wellbeing.
Why is this work important?
Councils are close to their communities and well placed to look at health and wellbeing locally. The Network is providing opportunities for councils to develop plans, learn and share from each other to strengthen health and wellbeing locally.
