Positive Ageing Community Engagement

Kingborough Council is developing a Community Services Strategy 2027–2032, following a recommendation endorsed at the Council meeting on 16 February 2026.

The new strategy will help guide how services and programs are planned and delivered in the future.

Who is this engagement for?

This engagement is aimed at people aged 60 and over who live in Kingborough. Feedback will help Council better understand local priorities and make sure future community services reflect the needs and experiences of older residents in Kingborough.

Why your input matters

Community input is a core part of the development of the Community Services Strategy. Your feedback will help Council:
• Understand current needs and emerging issues for older people
• Identify future priorities
• Understand how Council can best support wellbeing, participation and inclusion
• Ensure the Strategy reflects an accurate and authentic representation of people aged 60 and over

This consultation is about understanding what matters most to seniors in Kingborough, now and into the future.
