Policies
The Council's Policy for Older People provides a framework and broad priniciples to guide the development of 'Positive Ageing' policies within the Council that impact on, or have implications, for older people.
The Policy also aims to encourage opportunities for older people to participate in the community in the ways that they choose.
By identifying barriers to participation and working with all sectors to develop actions to address these, the needs of older people can be balanced with the needs of younger and future generations.
The seven categories, links to the New Zealand Positive Ageing Strategy (NZPAS) listed in the Policy for Older People, and potential local partnerships are as follows:
- access to information
- advocacy
- accessibility
- support
- safety
- planning
- affordability.
