COUNCIL is seeking feedback to help shape the Positive Ageing Strategy 2023-27. The Positive Ageing Committee and Council are committed to supporting the ageing population and values contributions from the community and partners to help inform the strategy.
Councillor representative on the Positive Ageing Committee, Cr Seema Abdullah, said, “Nearly 40 percent of our population are aged over 60, with an increase since 2016.”
“The pandemic and floods have highlighted the importance of keeping everyone including our ageing community connected. We would like to hear about ideas and priorities for Council to focus on from the community,” she said.
Consultation is open to all community members. Feedback can be provided online via the Shaping Greater Shepparton website, in person at one of Council’s drop-in sessions, or by calling Council. Consultation will close on Thursday, March 15 at 5pm.
