Co m m un it y2.5 Improved Aged Care and Disability Services Senior Citizens Councils Community Development Officer, Cindy Pierson, worked with the senior citizens of Alice Springs to set up the first Central Australian University of the Third Age. The U3A allows seniors to choose from an array of subjects including such things as basket weaving, French conversation, astronomy and yoga. The idea was developed from the seniors workshops run by Council during 2004. Seniors can now coordinate their own activities, and share their knowledge and skills with each other. The establishment of the U3A group encourages and promotes lifelong learning, which will increase community well-being and energy, and have a positive social, cultural, economic and environmental outcome. Council is proud to be able to support the provision of active ageing activites for seniors and will continue to support on-going consultation with the older community to assist in the planning and provision of services. term strategic approach to provide for improved access for disabled will see the upgrading of footpaths, kerbing, disabled parking and ramps in the Alice Springs CBD.
