Moorabool over 50s have your say

13/11/2021

By Sarah Oliver

Residents in Moorabool who are over 50 can have their say on the Age Well Live Well strategy for 2022-25.

The plan is designed for the council to meet the needs of older residents in the next four years.

Based on the World Health Organisation’s Age-Friendly Cities and Communities framework, the plan will prioritise a series of areas to create age-friendly communities.

Those areas include social participation, civic participation and employment, community support and health services, transportation, respect and social inclusion, communication and information,outdoor spaces and buildings and housing.

The survey is currently open and closes on December 7.
