Access and Inclusion

Disability Access and Inclusion Plan 2023 - 2028

The Shire’s Access and Inclusion Plan provides a planned approach to ensuring our services and facilities are accessible and inclusive of all community members.

We are reviewing and updating our plan to ensure it is reflective of the community’s aspirations, up to date and relevant.

We invite our community – in particular those with lived experience, family members and carers, or those who work in the sector – to get involved in the review, we are ready to listen!

Access and Inclusion Advisory Group

We are committed to improving the physical access to our services and facilities, as well as incorporating inclusion at a participatory and service level.

To support and guide in this area, the Shire has a Disability Access and Inclusion Strategy 2018-2022.

Our Access and Inclusion Advisory Group has been operating since 2018 and aims to support the development, implementation, review and evaluation of this Strategy.

The Advisory Group also supports the Shire to form positive community partnerships and support the Shire to achieve its objectives and aspirations of our Strategic Community Plan.

On this project page, you will find information and resources on the following:

• Advisory Group members
• Advisory Group agendas, minutes and meeting dates
• Shire plans and strategies relating to access and inclusion
