Access and Inclusion Advisory Group
The Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale is 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 us in this area, we have developed an Access and Inclusion Advisory Group made up of Councillors, businesses representatives and community members passionate about delivering better outcomes in the space.
We have also recently launched our Disability Access and Inclusion Plan 2023 - 2028.
The Access and Inclusion Advisory Group has been operating since 2018 and aims to support the development, implementation, review and evaluation of this strategic plan.
The group also supports the Shire to form positive community partnerships and achieve the objectives 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
- News stories on how we’re supporting and promoting access and inclusion
