Age Friendly Auckland –
kōrerorero / discussion

Panel members
discussed their role as kaitiaki of the Auckland Age Friendly Action Plan and

Committee
nominated to meet to discuss further and report back.

Housing
|
|
As the percentage of people who are seniors increases,
so too does the problem of access to and provision of housing for them.
Seniors are increasingly locked out of the housing
market due to rising costs and trends to large scale retirement villages
which are unaffordable for many seniors.
Auckland Council plays a significant role in
establishing the planning and policy framework for housing (including social
housing) and being a housing provider via its partnership with Haumaru
Housing.
We want to help Auckland Council better understand the
needs of seniors when it comes to housing.
|

Safety

Seniors can feel unsafe in their homes, especially if
they live alone as many do, and when out and about in their communities. They
can also struggle to get the help they need when safety issues arise.
These issues collectively can negatively impact on
seniors health and wellbeing.

|
|
|
|
Access to services
|
|
Despite seniors being an increasingly larger
percentage of the population, decisions on access to services are made mostly
by younger people and the needs of seniors can easily be overlooked.
It is important to recognise that if something is good
for seniors it is good for everyone. We want to make Auckland more accessible
and attractive for older persons.
Seniors have a huge amount to offer and provided they
are supported to engage, they can make a big difference.
Libraries and community centres remain the main places
where seniors can easily access information in a safe environment and these
cannot be allowed to close or be less available.

|
Presentation from and feedback sought by staff on
mapping and accessibility for parks
|
Feedback
given on desire for consistency to counter confusion. Query re
Waikumete mapping noted as a great opportunity. Discussed need for
facilities for adults to sit and play integrated with/adjacent to
childrens’ playgrounds. Noted different requirements for walkers
v wheelchairs for gradient and smooth paths – integrate with wayfinding
boards re suitability for these. Noting many older people will not find
digital interactive media helpful, so static signs at parks and on print-outs
of maps are vital.
|
|
|
|
Transport
|
|
Whether seniors are using private cars, public
transport or walking, getting the small things right that most of us just
don’t think about, can make a huge difference.
We need to make it as easy as possible for seniors who
need or want to, to use public transport. At the same time, the independence
associated with private car travel is important to seniors, and enables them
to get where they need to go.
