Age Friendly City Plan 2019 – 2024
Engagement has concluded, the new Plan can now be accessed on the City of Fremantle website at: www.fremantle.wa.gov.au/council/strategic-and-key-documents
We’re aiming to make the City of Fremantle the most positive place it can be for our seniors.
The City of Fremantle is a registered Age Friendly City through the World Health Organisation. We're currently preparing our new age friendly city plan to guide our direction over the next five years.
To prepare the new plan a review of the City’s progress commenced in 2018. A Working Group with representatives from community members, key organisations, City staff and Elected Members have met throughout the review to guide the process.
Over 150 people were engaged either online, through surveys, at events or via one-on-one meetings and their input informed the development of new and revised actions for the City.
We encourage you to read the draft Age Friendly City Plan 2019- 2024 and share your feedback in the survey below by Tuesday 19 March 2019. Copies will also be available in the Wanjoo Lounge at Fremantle Library.
