SENIORS

The Shire of Bridgetown-Greenbushes is currently home to over 5,200 residents with over 28% in the over 65 age bracket. The Age-Friendly Community Plan has been developed in order to assist Council to provide community facilities and opportunities that are age-friendly and accessible and continues to build upon the existing services, networks and infrastructure needed to support local residents to stay in their chosen community as they get older.
