Age Friendly Ōrākei
Committed to support our local seniors’ priorties
Age Friendly Action Feedback Roadshow Ōrākei
"We want to Hear from You" – an introduction to the Age Friendly Auckland Plan 2022-2027 for the Roadshow held in Oct/Nov 2023 at retirement villages and seniors clubs in the suburbs of the Ōrākei Local Board.
Local seniors tell us their personal priorities and preferences among the range of potential actions listed in the plan. A Feedback Results Report will be published in Dec 2023 which will serve as a guide to target future local age friendly investment to fit the consensus of local seniors’ priorities. Hopefully other parts of Auckland can do the same in the future.
Age Friendly Action Feedback Roadshow Ōrākei Feedback Results Report can be found here.
Presented by the volunteer and community-led Auckland East Community Network
