Council is committed to create a great place to grow old here in Lane Cove. As part of this commitment, we are seeking feedback from our local community on the Draft Age-Friendly Lane Cove Strategy 2024 – 2029. The draft strategy was developed in partnership with Redwoods Working Collaborative who helped to gather feedback from the community from April to June this year.

Background

The World Health Organisation (WHO) Global Strategy is a framework to foster health and active ageing. The goal is for ageing to be safe and appropriate so that our citizens can retain health, connection, and dignity. Lane Cove Council was the first NSW Council to become a member of the World Health Organisation Age-Friendly Cities in 2014 and adopted a ten-year plan based upon its framework to promote healthy and active ageing.

The Age-Friendly Cities framework includes eight interconnected domains listed below:

1. Outdoor Spaces and Buildings

2. Transportation

3. Housing

4. Social Participation

5. Respect and Inclusion

6. Civic Participation and Employment

7. Communication and Information

8. Community Support and Health Services

The purpose of the Age-Friendly strategy is to create a document to support Council's response to the challenges of the ageing population and foster an environment that promotes active ageing and community engagement. Assessing how Age-friendly Lane Cove has become is essential to continue to provide appropriate services and infrastructure to create a better future.

  • Age Friendly Strategy Survey

    In keeping with our commitment to an Age-Friendly Lane Cove, we need your participation to review and develop a new strategy for an Age-Friendly Lane Cove for 2024 - 2029.

    If you are aged 55 years or older, of if you care for an older person who lives in the Lane Cove Council area, then we invite you to tell us about your thoughts on ageing locally now and into the future.

    There are 19 questions and this survey should take you no more than 20 minutes.

    When you answer the questions, please consider the following outcomes:

    • Outdoor environment where older people can get out and about with ease and safety.
    • Enhanced access to transport by older people.
    • Opportunities for older people to access appropriate and affordable housing options, including residential aged care, without leaving Lane Cove.
    • Older people feel respected and valued as members of the community and are socially included.
    • Older people actively participate in social, recreation and leisure activities.
    • Older people are well informed and have access to the information they require.
    • Older people participate in community decisions, employment and volunteering.
    • Older people seamlessly access the community support and health services they require.
