Study measures long-term impact of innovative health and wellness hub

Brimbank residents have a unique opportunity to contribute to the health and wellbeing of their community.

All they need to do is fill out a survey which is investigating the long-term impacts of the Brimbank Aquatic and Wellness Centre, currently being built in Keilor Downs. Brimbank City Council is working with Victoria University on the study to better understand how local infrastructure and facilities like the Brimbank Aquatic and Wellness Centre can improve the longer term health and wellbeing outcomes for the community.

By completing the survey, you can also go into the draw to win either a $200 Coles voucher, a six-month membership to Brimbank Leisure Centres, or 10 family swim passes. The survey is now open and should take approximately 10 minutes to complete. Visit https://bit.ly/HealthyBrimbank to complete the survey which closes on 30 June.
