Seniors

In March 2016, the Shire of Dandaragan adopted an Age Friendly Community Plan (AFCP).  This Plan became one of the informing strategies when preparing the 2016-2026 Strategic Community Plan.  The Plan was developed following an extensive community engagement and participation process with seniors and other stakeholders and acknowledges the vital role seniors play in our community through their involvement in paid work, as volunteers, as supportive family members and as community leaders.  Based on this feedback the Shire gained during the consultation period from older people in our community, the Shire will continue to strive to enhance the opportunities to promote active ageing in our Shire, ensuring older people can contribute and participate in community life, as well as acknowledge and continue to address the barriers to services, structures and policies that seniors may encounter in our communities.
