Draft Positive Ageing Strategy and Action Plan

Byron Shire Council’s vision for ageing residents is an inclusive community where:

  1. older people feel safe and are well cared for
  2. diversity is reflected through age and culture
  3. older people feel respected by younger people, thus strengthening community bonds
  4. people of all ages and backgrounds are supported and provided for through quality education, health services and entertainment
  5. the important contribution of older residents, past and present, is recognised and respected.

The Draft Positive Ageing Strategy and Action Plan is on exhibition for a period of 28 days and is available at community access points around the Shire or on Council’s website at www.byron.nsw.gov.au/public-exhibition.
