Disability Inclusion Action Plan 2017-2021

CLOSED: This discussion has concluded.

Council drafted, exhibited and adopted the 2017-2021 Disability Inclusion Action Plan in 2017.

Council is currently developing the Bathurst Disability Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP). Each Local Government organisation is required, under the NSW Disability Inclusion Act 2014 to implement a Disability Inclusion Action Plan by 1 July 2017.

The Disability Inclusion Action Plan aims to support the inclusion of people with a disability in the community and improve access to services and community facilities for people with a disability.

As part of the process Council requires feedback from people with a disability, service providers, families, carers and anyone interested in creating a more inclusive community.
