Older people

The older residents of Blacktown City are a valuable part of our growing community. Several factors such as mental and physical capacity, risk of diseases, cultural background, age as well as social and physical environment impact on ageing. Generally, older people are increasingly living more independent, active and healthy lives and Blacktown City is committed to creating an age-friendly city that encourages older people to actively participate in community life.

For more information, please contact our Community Development Officer (Older People) on 02 5300 6000 or email us.
