The City of Melbourne has developed its Melbourne: A Great Place to Age strategic plan 2020-24 to challenge negative stereotypes towards ageing and change the discourse to one of pride, strength, and resilience.
This plan outlines the way the City of Melbourne will work to be one of the great cities in the world in which to grow older.
The City of Melbourne municipality is home to about 14,000 people aged 60 and over. These residents are an important part of our community, making up 10 per cent of the population.
Over the next 20 years, the number of people aged 60 and over living in our municipality will more than triple to 53,000.
As our city grows, it is vital we ensure people continue to feel included and supported, and valued members of our diverse community.
