Ipswich in Spring - 2025

ACTIVE AND HEALTHY? YES WE ARE!

There are many activities on offer through council’s Active and Healthy program.

Almost 90 per cent used the Active and Healthy app to book classes, with the feedback showing the app to be easy to use and navigate. The Active and Healthy program is a direct outcome and delivery action of the Ipswich Community Development Strategy and the Active Ipswich Strategy 2032. In 2024, it featured 40 weekly activities, 18 nutrition workshops and 131 Active Kids school holiday sessions, including Learn 2 Ride sessions.

Ipswich is making big strides in healthy living, with recent results showing almost 30,000 residents took part in Active and Healthy programs in 2024. The free and low-cost activities range from exercise classes to healthy eating workshops, for residents of all ages and fitness levels. The latest survey of the program shows that 79 per cent of participants identified improvements in their physical health, while 64 per cent said their mental health had improved. Overall, participants gave our programs an average of 4.36 out of 5.
