What Should the Sutherland Shire be doing to Promote a Healthier Lifestyle?
“I think awareness definitely needs to be improved. We need to be signposting and advertising healthy activities in the local paper. This would certainly be beneficial. As well as, just promoting awareness of what is out there in regard to healthy and physical activities.”
Nick Kemp, Waterfall.
“Maybe exercise more, um… programs in schools. They should get groups to go into schools and educate children on, say, the nutritional value of certain foods, and with that, you could promote healthier eating and healthier lifestyles, instead of just allowing children to sit in front of the TV.”
Sarah Wright, Waterfall.
“I think the Sutherland Shire should have more City to Surf or Sutherland to Surf fun runs.”
Andy Wise, Engadine.
“I think we should go back to the 60s… really… part of the problem is we’re too much into entertainment and because we’re all little mosaics we hang around our own entertainment units and get fatter and fatter and fatter. So I think we should be more into corporate activities whether that’s sports or social clubs or surfing and stuff like that…”
Ian Wooley, Heathcote.
“Maybe we should have more campaigns and have people come out and show you how to do certain things like first aid and things… and also more social networking, so we meet more people in the community and not isolate ourselves. “
Andrea Drurie, Engadine.
“I think the council should build more cycle ways on popular routes especially to Cronulla so that people can ride their bikes more easily and not be scared of traffic.”
Stephanie Hawkins, Woronora Heights.
“MacDonald’s should have more days where they are closed… Um… and they should make it compulsory for children to bring fruit to schools…”
Leo Butler, Jannali.
“I think the Sutherland Shire needs to do a lot in the area of GP employment because GP’s, at the moment, are understaffed.”
David Colwell, Woronora.
