About IMPAC

IMPAC (Integrated Murraylands Physical Activity Committee) was formed over 20 years ago to improve the health and wellbeing of communities and individuals across the Murraylands.

Established as a collaborative partnership between five Murraylands councils—Rural City of Murray Bridge, Mid Murray Council, Coorong District Council, District Council of Karoonda East Murray, and the District Council of Southern Mallee—IMPAC is managed by a committee of representatives from each council.
