Authentic community engagement promotes greater trust and confidence in local democracy, builds stronger relationships and leads to better outcomes for all of us. That’s why it is critical that the decisions that support the health and well-being for people as they age are informed and influenced by the people who live, work, visit or do business in the region.

A Positive Ageing Action Plan will be developed and implemented in partnership with older residents, local communities, service providers and other stakeholders.

The participation of everyone in our community is encouraged, welcomed and valued, because it helps us make better decisions and achieve better outcomes. We will check in with you to make sure your views are heard.

The Positive Ageing Action Plan will outline the activities, timelines, responsibilities and measures of progress for each priority area.

Actions may be led by communities, with our support; led by us and/or led by partnerships with organisations, such as the G21 Regional Alliance.

Our roles, responsibilities and activities identified in the action plan will be embedded in our operational plans and reporting frameworks to support effective implementation and accountability.
