Inaccessible Places
Lack of accessible transportation and infrastructure to accommodate walking aids, wheelchairs, mobility scooters, sensory processing difficulties, visual impairments, hearing loss.
We know that creating a welcoming and inclusive community is important to you. In a recent engagement project, we asked our community about Council's initiatives that strengthen respect and value of diversity, social inclusion and mental wellbeing, and 93% of respondents wanted Council to maintain or increase its focus.
Council is currently developing plans and strategies to support a sense of belonging for our diverse community. These plans will integrate priorities and actions for focus areas such as disability, culturally and linguistically diverse communities, LGBTQIA+, and positive ageing.We want to understand how Council can remove barriers and improve social inclusion to make our community as accessible and welcoming as it can be.
How can we make our community feel welcoming and inclusive for everyone? Share your feedback by 5pm 3 September 2024.
