Positive Ageing Plan

‘Participate’ is the Macedon Ranges Positive Ageing Plan 2020-2025, which reflects the needs, aspirations and priorities to support our aims of being an age-friendly community.

Almost 1,000 community members provided feedback and input into the development of this five-year plan that has a strong focus on social connections, being active, living well, advocating for their needs, valuing and respecting older people.

We hope to create an age-friendly community that supports older people to:

feel included and able to participate in the community including events and activities they choose
be confident that there are services, supports and programs available to meet their needs
feel they can participate in and move around the community safely and easily
live a safe, dignified life and make their own decisions
be respected and their contributions are valued.
