Golden Plains Shire Council’s Active Ageing & Inclusion Plan 2020-2024 was adopted at Council’s February Meeting last week.
The Plan provides the framework to address active ageing, disability access and inclusion issues across all areas of Council’s operations. It identifies access barriers or opportunities and outlines 51 actions across four priority areas: Our Social Environment; Our Support Environment; Our Built and Natural Environments; and Our Leadership.
The Active Ageing & Inclusion Plan 2020-2024 was informed by extensive consultation in 2019 and again from 16 December 2020 to 31 January 2021. During this most recent consultation period, Council received 33 submissions on the Draft Plan, and changes were made based on this feedback, including shortening some timeframes for actions, removing reference to the medical model of disability and updating the document’s Shire map to include more communities.
The Active Ageing & Inclusion Plan 2020-2024 is now available on Council’s Strategies webpage here.
