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.

A five-year comprehensive plan and a shorter summary of the plan’s priority areas were originally developed.

Highlights and actions completed in 2022-2023 and the actions planned for 2023-2024 are incorporated in the PARTICIPATE Positive Ageing Plan Year 3 Annual Review 2022-23 and Year 4 Action Plan 2023-24 available below.
