COUNCIL RESOLUTION - COMMITTEE/OFFICER RECOMMENDATION – ITEM 10.1.5

OCM – 12/07/07 MOVED Cr Devlin, Seconded Cr Dunkerton, that Council:

1. Endorses the following draft policies:

HEALTH PROMOTION POLICIES

TOBACCO POLICY

Objective

To provide a safe, healthy environment for users of Council facilities.

Council recognises that smoke free environments protect non-smokers from the harmful effects of Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) and contribute to reducing tobacco consumption levels. Council will encourage quitting attempts and discourage the uptake of smoking, particularly by young people.

Policy

Council acknowledges its obligations to ensure that all Council owned buildings are free from potential health hazards.

Council declares that all Council owned buildings and events are smoke free zones and this policy extends to Council plant and vehicles.

Council provides signage to Council buildings and events to reflect its non-smoking policy.

Council advises hirers of its facilities, via its hire documentation, that the facility hired is subject to Council's non-smoking policy.

The management committees of relevant buildings shall be advised of their requirements to implement the policy.

All indoor and designated outdoor environments (seated areas/audience areas) under the control of the Town will be promoted as 100% smoke free.

All official functions (including dinners, presentations, fund-raising events, meetings, and social occasions) will be promoted as 100% smoke free.

Tobacco products will not be sold or promoted by the Town or on any premises under the control of the Town.

Any person, either employed by or representing the Town in any capacity will refrain from smoking whilst acting in an official capacity.

FOOD AND CATERING POLICY

Objective

To encourage the provision of good nutrition options to maintain and improve the health of the community.

Policy

Where food is available at functions and activities, healthy alternatives will be readily offered. This includes the provision of foods low in fat, high in fibre and fruit and vegetables.

Appropriate information will be available to food handlers e.g. Health & Hygiene of Food Handlers.

ALCOHOL AND OTHER DRUGS POLICY

Objective

To promote, encourage and support strategies to minimise harm from alcohol and other drug use.

Policy

The Town encourages the responsible consumption of alcohol, and excessive or rapid consumption of alcohol will be discouraged.

Water will be made available for free or low cost at public events.

If events include a licensed area, alcohol will be served in accordance with the requirements set out in the Liquor Licensing Act 1998. This includes no alcohol being served to patrons under the age of 18 years or to intoxicated patrons.

The use of illicit and performance enhancing drugs will not be allowed at any activities or events under the control of the Town.

Participants and performers known to be intoxicated due to alcohol and/or other drugs will not be permitted to participate or perform.

Food will be offered when alcohol is served.

The irresponsible use of alcohol or use of illicit and/or performance enhancing drugs will not be glamorised or promoted.

SUN PROTECTION POLICY

Objective

To recognise that exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) has negative health effects and will therefore introduce measures to minimise exposure.

Policy

The Town strongly recommends and supports sun safe practices for all activities.

Activities will be conducted outside of the hours 10.00am to 3.00pm when UVR is at its peak, whenever possible.

Natural shade will be utilised to protect participants and spectators, wherever available.

Staff and members representing the organisation will always act as positive role models by adopting sun protection behaviours such as wearing long sleeved shirts, broad brim hats, extra length shorts, sunglasses and applying sunscreen.

When natural shade is not available, the Town will supply and erect portable shade structures, wherever possible.

Sunscreen (SPF 30+, broad spectrum water resistant) will be made available to participants and spectators. However when this is not possible these parties will be encouraged to bring their own.

SPORT SAFE POLICY

Objective

To improve the health of the community through safe participation in sports and physical activities.

Policy

An appropriately qualified first aid person/s with first aid equipment will be in attendance at events.

The community will be encouraged to use protective sports equipment where necessary.

Warm up, stretch and cool down routines will be encouraged, if required.

Members, coaches and officiating personnel will be encouraged to attend approved training and accreditation course in sports injury prevention and treatment, if required.

Correct fluid replacement practices will be encouraged at events.

MENTAL HEALTH POLICY

Objective

To promote positive mental health to maximise well being in individuals and communities. To foster a sense of belonging through improving social, physical and economic environments as well as enhancing the coping capacity of individuals and communities. To reduce or remove economic or social barriers to participation in the Town’s activities and encourage participants, volunteers and organisers to treat all groups in the organisation and in the community in general with respect, equality and openness.

Policy

The Town will proactively support positive mental health promotion in individuals and the community through the following supportive strategies:

Provide opportunities for individuals to be mentally, physically and socially active (ACT).

Encourage individuals to join and actively participate in the Town’s activities and those of partner organisations (BELONG).

Encourage individuals to become a volunteer in the Town, to set personal goals for achievement in the activities of the organisation, and to be more broadly involved in other community events and environments (COMMIT).
