MidCoast Ageing Strategy check-in
Published on 02 September 2024
Are you an older person living on the MidCoast or a carer? We want your feedback about how you feel about living on the MidCoast as an older person.
This feedback will help us to check in on how we are achieving the outcomes in the MidCoast Ageing Strategy 2022-2026.
The MidCoast Ageing Strategy was developed as a comprehensive plan to guide Council, other agencies and the community to support our older residents’ needs across five priority areas including health and wellbeing, working and retiring, housing choices, getting around and inclusive communities.
“We are halfway through the MidCoast Ageing Strategy and we want to check in with our community to see how they are feeling about living on the MidCoast”, said Alex Mills, MidCoast Council’s Manager of Libraries Community and Cultural Services.
“With one of the oldest populations in Australia, it is really important to make sure our region is great place where we can live and age well”, said Mr Mills.
The MidCoast Ageing Strategy check-in consultation is open from Monday 2 September to Sunday 20 October.
