Older people meeting for a chat on a path

Under this theme, the following priority areas for action have been identified:

  • Our places, activities and events are intergenerational and welcome older people;
  • Activities and events that appeal to the diverse needs and preferences of older people are held in a variety of local neighbourhoods;
  • Services and supports are available to enable older people to create and maintain informal networks and social connections;
  • Housing (including residential aged care) is appropriately located in areas that are safe, close to services and the rest of the community;
  • Older people feel safe in the community; and
  • The amenity and safety of local neighbourhoods is promoted by appropriate footpaths, ramps and pedestrian crossings, good street lighting, public seating and toilets.
