Many organisations in NSW support activities which contribute to a healthy built environment. These activities often engage communities through local initiatives, such as walking groups and communal gardens, and are delivered through partnership arrangements. There has been limited systematic reporting on these initiatives. In an effort to fill this research gap, in 2012 the HBEP undertook a research project to ‘map’ the activities currently delivered in NSW to support a healthy built environment. The mapping project provided an inclusive and meaningful inventory of the work being undertaken in NSW. The results of the research have been collated in a report which you can read here. Below is a database of some of the information collected. It is designed to allow those interested in healthy built environments to access services and information on organisations involved in this area.
