Positive Ageing Policy The Nelson City and Tasman District Councils have been approached by the Positive Aging Forum to set out their respective policies for “older persons”.
The two Councils recognise the diversity of their populations and although most activities undertaken by the two Councils impact on residents as a whole, there are a number of Council activities which have a more significant effect on the older population. It is appropriate to bring these together to enable this segment of the population have their main interests represented in one document.
This policy is intended to clarify the existing services provided by both Councils and to provide some consistency. The policy raises a number of points that should be considered in the future although any additional services would probably need to go through each Council’s planning processes.
A copy of the Positive Ageing Policy is available to download below.
