Age-Friendly Plan 2023–2027
The City consulted with the community to identify key priorities for supporting older people. These insights shaped our Age-Friendly Plan 2023–2027, which will directly guide our services, partnerships, and advocacy to ensure older Australians are celebrated, respected, and actively supported to participate in community life.
