The Dunedin City Council is set to approve a new strategy to look after the social wellbeing of residents.

The council will on Monday vote on whether to adopt the Social Wellbeing Strategy, after more than a year of work and public consultation.

That consultation included questions on whether the council had a role in social wellbeing.

93% of people answered it should.

The goals of the strategy include a community that is connected, safe and healthy, with a reasonable standard of living and affordable homes.

The council's role would include everything from retaining medical services to ensuring homes are insulated.
