Seniors

Overview

Senior woman with cup of tea  

Senior residents have a lot to offer the Launceston municipality. Their experience and knowledge, as well as their social contribution, help make our city an even better place to call home or visit.   

The Living as a Senior in Launceston Framework(PDF, 5MB) outlines our commitment to ensuring people can enjoy life in their senior years.

Pensioner Concessions

If you hold a Pensioner Concession Card or Department of Veteran Affairs Card, you are eligible for a City of Launceston SmartCard which stores your pensioner concession.

In 2016, one SmartCard was sent to the eligible pensioner and property owner who receives the rates remission. Other pensioners at the property may be eligible for a SmartCard with the parking concession only. Terms and conditions are supplied with the SmartCard.

How to use the SmartCard for parking

When parking at one of Council's three multi-storey car parks, instead of taking an entry ticket and using your voucher; you will use your SmartCard to enter the car park, validate parking at the automated pay machine and exit.

1. Place the card against the sensor at the entry machine on arrival.
2. Place the card against the sensor at the pay machine before returning to your car.
3. Place the card against the sensor at the exit machine on departure. 

New Pensioners

Please complete a pensioner rate remission form and present your eligible Pension Concession Card to receive your SmartCard.

Please contact us for more information.
