Seniors Guide
The Seniors Guide is a simple resource to lead you in the right direction from available support services to local activities for our older residents. The Guide is available in a printed format at all of our libraries and the Civic Centre on Dundebar Road, Wanneroo.
Growing Old and Living Dangerously program
The Growing Old and Living Dangerously (GOLD) program provides a range of exciting and challenging activities for City of Wanneroo residents aged 50 years and over.
Over the course of the year the GOLD program will run 12 activities plus a Christmas Party, this is on average one activity per month. Of these activities, 4 will incorporate a Bus trip which is on average one per quarter. The activities will generally be advertised 2 months in advance of their date to allow members time to set them aside in their diary.
Bus trips include pick-up and drop off locations in Butler, the Wanneroo Civic Centre and Kingsway Stadium. For non-bus activities, participants are asked to make their own way to the venue.
