The Wairarapa Positive Ageing Strategy launch event was attended by Hon Minister for Seniors Tracey Martin, Wairarapa mayors, councillors, council staff and contributors to the Strategy from the Wairarapa community.
The Strategy was developed by the three Wairarapa councils to prepare for the region’s rapidly ageing community. The aim of the Strategy is to help them achieve positive outcomes through leading valued, connected and fulfilling lives.
In the next 25 years, the number of Wairarapa residents aged over 65 is expected to increase by about 79% to nearly 15,000, or 1 in 4 residents. It is the hope that the Strategy will enhance the lives and experiences of older people in the community. The new Strategy features six strategic goals, which were identified through extensive local research and consultation. These goals, which will be areas of council focus over the medium to long-term are: community support and health services, communication and engagement, transport, cultural diversity, housing, and places, spaces and activities.
