#04 - Connected Community with James Weston

Local government leisure centres are more than just places to train, they’re community health hubs that connect fitness, allied health, and social wellbeing. In this episode, James Weston, Unit Leader of Fitness and Sport at Hume City Council, shares how his team is creating facilities that support every stage of the health journey - from rehabilitation to long-term movement and community connection.

We talk:

- Why councils continue investing in leisure and wellness facilities

- Building inclusive spaces that link fitness with allied health and recovery services

- How gym staff act as triage points in a preventative health model

- Using technology to track real health outcomes, not just attendance

- Leadership, culture, and collaboration across council departments and partners
