Residents are encouraged to complete the online Active Living Census (ALC) at go.healthyloddoncampaspe.au/alc before it closes. Responses to the census help influence decision making about future infrastructure, health and wellbeing projects.
Healthy Loddon Campaspe Coordinator Alicia O'Brien said the closing date to complete the ALC has been extended by a further two weeks until Sunday, 6 July 2025 to ensure as many people as possible complete the online census.
"For the two-week extension, we're excited to be giving away some amazing prizes for anyone who completes the ALC online," Ms O'Brien said.
"Prizes include one $500 gift card, ten $100 gift cards and 100 home gardening packs. All valid responses to the ALC will have the chance to win these great prizes.
"The data gathered through the ALC is important as it will help inform future infrastructure, health and wellbeing projects in the Loddon Campaspe region.
"The future projects and programs will contribute to healthier lifestyles across the region, and support opportunities for residents to be more physically active and eat well.
"It doesn't matter your health or activity level, every response we receive will contribute to improving the health and wellbeing of residents living in the Loddon Campaspe region.
"We are really grateful to everyone who has already completed the ALC so far.
"However, we'd love to see even more responses from right across the community as this will provide richer, more detailed information about residents' health and wellbeing needs.
"The more data we receive, the better it will guide investments, and influence funding for future projects and programs in our region,
"Completing the census is easy, anonymous, and takes around 15-20 minutes."
To participate in the Active Living Census, visit go.healthyloddoncampaspe.au/alc before Sunday July 6.
