Thank you to everyone across the Loddon Campaspe region who participated in the 2025 Active Living Census. With over 8,200 responses, the data collected provides a strong foundation to help shape healthier, more active communities.
Key highlights
- Broad regional engagement – responses were received from all six LGAs, with strong contribution across the region.
- Valuable insights – many participants provided detailed feedback, helping us better understand local barriers and ways to support healthy eating and physical activity.
- Survey feedback – the most common concern raised was the length of the survey. We acknowledge this and will work to make future surveys shorter and easier to complete.
Looking ahead
- The data from the 2025 ALC will become a powerful tool to inform local government planning, support community organisations and sporting clubs, and help secure funding for initiatives that make being active and eating well easier for all.
- Community feedback highlighted the survey’s length as a barrier. Future surveys will be shorter and more user-friendly.
- Finalised data will be publicly available in early 2026.
Healthy Loddon Campaspe and the six participating LGAs appreciate your contribution to data that will drive meaningful change across our region. We look forward to sharing the results with the community in the coming months.

What is the Active Living Census?
The ALC is a region-wide survey conducted by Healthy Loddon Campaspe that asks residents in our region about their health, wellbeing and daily activities.
The survey looks at things like:
- How often people play sport or are physically active;
- What they eat and drink (like fruit, vegetables, water, and sugary drinks);
- Smoking and gambling habits;
- How happy people feel about their lives; and
- What stops people from being healthy and active.
This information helps schools, sporting clubs, community groups, government, and local leaders make better decisions about health programs, new recreation spaces, and services. It also helps the community get funding to make the region a healthier place for everyone.
