Age-Friendly Melville

The City of Melville continues to build on its previous achievements working
towards a vision of an Age-Friendly Melville to advance the aspirations and
wellbeing of our ageing community.

We are heading towards a time where there will more ageing adults in Australia
than there will be children. We continue to engage with our older residents, and
based on what you tell us, we continually look to improve our strategies to reflect
your aspirations for the future.

We will also continue to maintain our participation in the World Health
Organisation’s Global Age-Friendly Communities Network and work with the
state government and other local governments in Western Australia to progress
our vision of an age-friendly City.

The City has developed strategies and actions outlined in our document ‘Age-
Friendly Melville Plan 2017-2021’ which targets the key areas identified by older
people for improvements that promote active ageing. The priority areas identified
include housing, transport, respect and inclusion as well as social participation.

This resource is regularly updated and improved with the latest information about
services and activities that will support your independence and participation in
the community.

We hope that this booklet assists you to live well in Age-Friendly Melville.
