Service Planning Area

A Service Planning Area (SPA) is a defined geographical region used by organizations, especially in health and social services, to plan and deliver services effectively. Each SPA is designed to group communities with similar needs and resources, making it easier to address issues such as healthcare, education, and transportation. By focusing on a specific area, service providers can better understand the demographics, challenges, and priorities of the community, ensuring that services are tailored and accessible to those who need them most.
