Healthy Spaces and Places is a unique collaboration between the
Australian Local Government Association, the National Heart Foundation
of Australia and the Planning Institute of Australia was originally
funded by the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing.
Healthy Spaces & Places supports and complements planning and design
initiatives throughout Australia. It is a single source of
easy-to-find, practical information from experts in health, planning,
urban design, community safety and transport planning.
This website includes:
- design principles that are the foundation stones of healthier more active communities
- different development types where these principles can be applied
- information about how to make planning for healthier communities happen
- Australian case studies that show what is achievable and which have potentially wider application, and
- links to the health and planning research.

Healthy Active by Design (HAbD) is a tool to inform the design of
communities that support and promote healthy and active living.
Practical guidance, checklists and case-studies are categorised into
nine key design features that will assist planners, urban designers and
related professionals to design a built environment that enables people
to be healthy and active in their community. Other potential users of
the resource include professionals from health, community development
and sport and recreation who wish to advocate for and promote health and
wellbeing across a range of projects.
