About the plan
To build the capacity of local government to meet the specific opportunities and challenges of an ageing population, ALGA has developed the Australian local government population ageing action plan 2004-2008.
The plan is the result of a partnership between ALGA and the Australian Government to engage local government in a planned and coordinated national approach to population ageing issues.
The action plan provides a flexible and dynamic framework that builds awareness, encourages action, fosters partnerships and improves access to information.
This four-year action plan complements other national ageing strategies, such as the Australian Government's National strategy for an ageing Australia and intersects with the considerable work already undertaken in individual jurisdictions.
