The Warrnambool City Council values the contribution of older people and people with disability to our city and seeks to provide opportunities for their active participation in a broad range of community activities.

Ageing 

Older residents have a great deal to contribute to their communities. In general, they have the experience, skills, independence, fitness and desire to continue to play an active role in society.
