Strategies

Age Friendly Plan 2023 – 2027

The City values the contribution that older people have made to enrich our City and we will provide a healthy, stimulating and safe environment where older people can enjoy good health and continue to participate in the community. The Age Friendly Plan identifies four key focus areas which align with both the World Health Organisation (WHO) Age Friendly Cities Framework, as well as relevant key result areas under our Strategic Community Plan – Sustainable Stirling 2022-2032. These key focus areas are inclusive, accessible, connected and active and healthy. This plan was developed as a result of extensive community consultation.

Planning for an age-friendly City is one of the most effective ways to meet the needs of older residents and delivers many benefits to the whole community. An age-friendly City does not just benefit older people, but people of all ages, including children, parents, families and people living with a disability.
