Housing Models for an Ageing Population

This report outlines the implications of an ageing population in the City of Onkaparinga for housing demand. As well as outlining the population trends, policy context and the factors driving housing needs, the report canvasses the range of housing models for an older population in Australia and elsewhere in the world and sets out to comment upon their suitability and appropriateness for the City of Onkaparinga and South Australia more generally. An important first step in catering for the housing needs of an ageing population is a clear understanding of the housing models, currently available to older people in Australia, and more significantly overseas, where there is a much greater experience of a range of housing options.
