The AGEncy Project

The AGEncy Project - a group of people in Sydney committed to spearheading cohousing for older people. Growing older with gusto in the community we know & love!

Michael Mann, one of the great climate educators, is talking in Sydney 15th Oct. Meanwhile, I’ve joined his free online course on climate science. Enrol here.

Gee, it would be great to be there! Hope #housing and #ageism get a guernsey on the agenda! #AusVotes19 #auspol @KerynCurtis @EveryAGECounts @Mark_Butler_MP @sarahinthesen8

In addition social and affordable housing should not be pushed to the fringes of cities but rather integrated or our suburbs risk becoming demographic echo chambers.

Totally insane. What other inane tasks can we throw more plastic at? @KerynCurtis

[Scott Ludlam @Scottludlam]

why don't we skip the foot-wrapping phase and just tip the plastic directly into the ocean

[Keryn Curtis @KerynCurtis]

At @AGEncyProjCoHo we hope to get a project up this year that can be a demonstration to policy makers, #planners, #architects & older Australians that there are wonderful alternatives to traditional #retirementvillages to support growing old with independence & agency! #ageing

Watch this #cohousing space in NSW @DrKayPatterson with new work coming out of @UTSISF and @chrisjriedy - thanks to funding from @facsnsw Not for everyone but older people want choices. All people do!.@KerynCurtis @Guileliss @InnerWestNews @IWCouncil #ageing @news_seniors

[Dr Kay Patterson @DrKayPatterson]

We are increasingly seeing people think outside the square when it comes to options for living actively and independently into old-age – the co-housing AGEncy Project is one of those ideas @AGEncyProjCoHo https://t.co/1kTycvJIHs

@fawsfaws @KerynCurtis @RadioNational @Guileliss Thanks Michael. Is there a particular story in AAA about that? Or are you suggesting a story?

[Jane Bringolf @UDAustralia]

@KerynCurtis @RadioNational @AGEncyProjCoHo @Guileliss Liked the comment about moving away from 20C invention of age-restricted developments and that life is a continuum - a tapestry. We are people, not market segments.

[The AGEncy Project @AGEncyProjCoHo]

Another milestone for us - our second AGM. Many thanks to one of our founders, #DrMargotWoods who established our #PeninsulaHub She isn’t leaving but is stepping down from the committee next year. @HelenLOrange2 #cohousing #ageingwell @KerynCurtis @Guileliss

[Jane Caro @JaneCaro]

I'm on Stop Everything on @RN right now talking about the invisibility of older women in popular culture.

Shame on @Coles

This is a brilliant idea. When you are sick or undergoing treatment, it can be exhausting dealing with all the wonderful people who want to be a support - even when you desperately need help. This is one clever way to manage. @CanDoApp https://t.co/0tgLSlUqEf

[The AGEncy Project @AGEncyProjCoHo]

Black ban them. I’m appalled!!! @KerynCurtis https://t.co/Sl0nYZBReN

[Jane Mussared @jmussared]

Petrol giant’s ‘ridiculous’ reusable coffee cup ban - awful decision bucking a really positive trend everywhere else. Sorry OTR - that ends our coffee meet ups! https://t.co/gTTxiaVVWc

[The AGEncy Project @AGEncyProjCoHo]

@AudetteExel Well done @DeborahSnow! Your hard work appreciated by strong women! #bankingRC #AMP @smh

[The AGEncy Project @AGEncyProjCoHo]

Agree... reablement can obviate the problem in many cases. https://t.co/UO2IskXqFI

The end of a long day of workshopping the vision for The AGEncy Project #cohousing designed to enable us to grow old well in @IWCouncil #codesign @GreensJamieP @Guileliss @UTSISF @chrisjriedy @cohousing

At a glance: the powerful work of Rebecca Lazenby, visual recorder, captures the day’s visioning workshop on #cohousing for older people in the #innerwest at @AGEncyProjCoHo @GreensJamieP @UTSISF @facsnsw #ageing #housing #Balmain @InnerWestNews @IWCouncil

[The AGEncy Project @AGEncyProjCoHo]

Great to meet Iain Walker & visit #cohousing development in #Melbourne called #Murundaka. We learn by standing on the shoulders of those who have been before us. #CommonEquity @Guileliss @KerynCurtis

[The AGEncy Project @AGEncyProjCoHo]

Great to see this. It’s the same idea essentially for us. We want and need multi-age, intergenerational homes that nourish both individuals & communities. #CoHousing principles can flourish here. Financial model? @Guileliss @KerynCurtis https://t.co/faDROSixJL

Multi-age precincts envisioned to fight the middle-aged spread in Australian cities https://t.co/Zb7poRxYxr via @Domaincomau

[The AGEncy Project @AGEncyProjCoHo]

Perfect idea. Some co-housing elements too? Multi-age precincts envisioned to fight the middle-aged spread in Australian cities https://t.co/le8cXuiL52 via @Domaincomau
