The Clarence Valley Council is participating in a new project to be delivered in early 2009, promoting healthy and active lifestyles.
In 2005, 1 in 2 Australian Adults was overweight. If your waistline is getting bigger you could be at risk of developing a chronic disease such as cancer, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes. (Stated as part of the Federal Government’s “Measure Up” program)
Clarence Valley Council plans to ensure that you are not only aware of the issues in this growing epidemic but also have access to the tools to improve your situation. As a result there are a huge range of activities planned in 2009. Events will be attractively priced and focused on drawing members of the community to outings within some of our beautiful parklands.
In creating this project we are particularly targeting those not regularly involved in physical activities. We need your input to finalise the list of activities to be available as well as identify parties interested in providing those activities.
