Aged Accommodation
AGED ACCOMMODATION
The Ageing Community strategy released by the ACT Government in 2004 has succeeded in removing many obstacles to the supply of residential aged care accommodation in the ACT. It placed an emphasis on establishing a rolling program of aged persons’ accommodation sites and on identifying and removing unnecessary delays in projects for aged accommodation by streamlining planning approval process. Phase ll of the Affordable Housing Action Plan was launched in 2008 to address the affordability of accommodation for older Canberrans and actively address the issue of homelessness. This phase of the plan is now well under way.
The ACT Government recognises that thse is a continuing need to ensure the availably of sufficient land suitable for aged accommodation, and to address any impediments to the ability of older people to move into accommodation more suited to their changing needs.
