Ready For Living

We want the Gore District to be the best place for people of all ages, including older people, to live and thrive.

Through Ready For Living we are building our knowledge and understanding of the needs of older people now, so we can put the best things in place for their future.

Our population projections show that by 2038 the percentage of those aged 65 years plus will be 33.1%. We need to ensure we keep people connected and build wider community awareness of the issues older people face in their daily life.

The six priority areas in Ready for Living are:

• Health
• Housing
• Mobility
• Social Participation
• Employment and Volunteerism
• Accessibility
