The West Tamar Community Health and Wellbeing Mapping Project is a collaborative partnership between the West Tamar Council (WTC), the University Department of Rural Health (UDRH) and the West Tamar community. This report along with the Beaconsfield Community Health and Wellbeing Mapping Project ‘sets the scene’ for better understanding the health and wellbeing needs and priorities of residents in the West Tamar community. The comprehensive findings, issues and themes generated from this project lend themselves to an integrated and ‘whole of community’ approach to health and wellbeing in the West Tamar which considers and acknowledges the many factors that influence health in its broadest sense. The project and its findings will provide a platform for West Tamar Council and its communities to formulate and create strategies, policies, actions, programs and resources for the benefit of the municipality. It is strongly aligned with the objectives of West Tamar Councils Strategic Plan (2009-2014) and with Council’s vision which is to provide "an active and effective community enhancing West Tamar as the desired place to live, work, and visit".
