NEXT STEPS

The Engagement Report will inform the development of the Shire of Goomalling Age Friendly Community Plan. The development of the plan will involve:

• Ongoing liaison with and input from the Community Reference Group
• An “Issues and Options” Workshop with Council to identify:
• Preparation of a Draft Age Friendly Community Plan to be made available for public comment period
• Council adoption.
• possible quick wins
• strategic fit and resource implications of larger scale improvements in light of the Integrated Planning and Reporting Suite
• potential gains from targeted advocacy and partnerships
• regional and sub-regional implications

The process and output has been designed to dovetail into the Shires Integrated Planning and Reporting processes on an ongoing basis. It is intended to build the Shires capacity (and the capacity of our seniors) and embed seniors' engagement and age friendly community considerations as a vital part of strategic and corporate planning.
