The Project

Healthy Murraylands aims to improve nutrition and increase physical activity participation, reducing the risk of chronic disease and the prevalence of overweight and obesity in the Murraylands.

The program will provide outcomes in the form of community gyms, gardens, healthy lifestyle programs and walking groups. Training will be available for interested community members.
