Featured Case Study
Tenby10 Project (Port Pirie)
In February 2006, Port Pirie, together with key South Australian stakeholders including the Environment Protection Authority (EPA), Department of Health (DH), and Port Pirie Regional Council, launched the 'tenby10' project.
The aim of the project is to ensure that the Port Pirie community meets the Australian government’s national health goal of at least 95 per cent of all children 0 to 4 years of age having a blood-lead level of less than 10 micrograms per decilitre (µg/dl). The project aims to achieve this goal by the end of 2010.
