The City Council Task force
See the Lord Mayor’s Taskforce into Retirement and Aged Care independent recommendation report.
The taskforce states:
“It is the opinion of the taskforce that providers of retirement and aged care accommodation must continue to work closely with local communities and council to find appropriate locations for this form of housing. In the past, some communities have expressed concerns over the scale and bulkiness of older people’s housing. The taskforce recommends that council better regulate new development to ensure it is well-designed and attractive. It is critical that housing for older people integrates with the surrounding community and does not negatively impact on existing homes. “
