A comprehensive evaluation was designed to assess the impact of the resulting four-year intervention strategy.

Data were coded in relation to the key topic areas of the interviews with an inductive method used to analyse themes within topics. Seventeen stakeholders were contacted, 14 completed an interview; five from state government or statutory agencies, four from non-government fun
