Proposed Age-friendly Policy

From the TDC:
Tasman’s population is ageing, which means we have an increasing number of residents aged 65 and over. The number of older residents in Tasman is projected to almost double over the next 20 years.

Tasman District Council has developed a new Age-Friendly Policy to guide Council’s planning and better meet the needs of the growing number of older residents.
The Policy aims to address the issues raised by our community on the needs of older people and the ways that Council can help develop an age-friendly community.
Our community has told us that the main issues for our older residents are accessibility, transport services and infrastructure, housing, social connection, and affordability.
The Policy proposes goals and objectives across a range of areas where Council has a role in developing an age-friendly community.

The Policy is open for feedback from 9 November 2018 to 25 January 2019.
We want to know what you think of the proposed Policy.
Does it identify and address the opportunities and challenges of an ageing population?
Will the objectives improve the wellbeing of our older residents?

To read the full version of the proposed Age-Friendly Policy, and for more information, visit our website www.tasman.govt.nz/link/age-friendly.
Copies are also available at Council offices and local libraries.
A summary of community feedback and a research report on Tasman’s ageing population are also available on our website www.tasman.govt.nz/my-council/projects/age-friendly-policy-project/. ... See MoreSee Less
