DOWNSIZING IN AUSTRALIA
feel part of a multi-generational community and be involved in that community . Seniors do not wish to move from familiar areas .
Another major factor in deciding on options is the ability to keep a pet . Be aware that many options today do not cater for the owning and keeping of pets , although some do allow small pets .
So to review options for downsizing in Australia the common discussion centres around : Can I downsize into an area I am familiar with and where there is public transport and amenities close by , and where I can have a pet ( if I want one )? If so , then it may be an option . However , if downsizers have to move to an unfamiliar area and public transport and amenities are too far away or not an option , then the decision to downsize will simply be put on hold .
