Retirement
The Kapiti Coast in general and Waikanae in particular are renowned for the large number of retirement facilities available to our increasingly ageing population. Now we see yet another facility soon to be coming to our district. I have nothing against retirement facilities. They serve a very good purpose and contain
lots of happy campers. Indeed, now being in my eighties, I sometimes think the time may come when I should consider moving into one.
My concern is that the rapid growth in aged-care providers so notably exceeds the growth of the general population that a gross imbalance is occurring and that such imbalance cannot be good for the future of this community.
Question: What has been the growth in new retirement facilities in the last decade and how does that compare with the growth in educational facilities? I suspect a significant imbalance. Is that OK?
