CARE<br />
SURVEY<br />
AGE FRIENDLY STRATEGY<br />
Thank you to all who<br />
participated in our community<br />
engagement activities to assist<br />
the City to develop its very first<br />
Age Friendly Strategy.<br />
The strategy will aim to promote<br />
an age friendly environment<br />
that benefits our community for<br />
current and future generations.<br />
Our seniors were asked to reveal<br />
what they love most about living<br />
in Wanneroo. The beautiful parks<br />
and open spaces of our City<br />
garnered the most praise,<br />
followed closely by the<br />
semi-rural feel and spaciousness<br />
of our suburbs.<br />
Accessibility to the coast,<br />
medical centres and shopping<br />
centres were other draw cards.<br />
Those who participated<br />
in the forum remarked on<br />
the impressive number of<br />
community centres, sporting<br />
facilities and senior focussed<br />
activities within the City.<br />
Our library and cultural centres<br />
also received many mentions.<br />
