Over 30 new projects will be delivered across the region from early September 2023, including multi-LGA projects such as:
- HLC Healthy Schools Project in four LGA’s, focusing on helping selected schools to provide a supportive environment for physical activity and healthy eating within the school setting.
- An extension of the successful HLC Healthy Sports Clubs Project in three LGA’s, focusing on helping sports clubs to implement small, manageable changes in their food and drink environments to improve access to healthy options.
