Consultation has concluded

Council would like community feedback on The Draft Disability Access and Inclusion Plan (DAIP) describes the actions that the Rural City of Murray Bridge will take over the next four years to facilitate equitable access to opportunities and services for people living with disability.

This means considering disability access and inclusion in Council planning and action and putting in place measures to ensure people living with disability can participate in or use Council’s services, programs and facilities and that they feel welcome and engaged in community life.

All State Authorities including local government are required to develop a DAIP under the Disability Inclusion Act 2018 (SA). The draft DAIP is structured around the priority areas and actions of Inclusive SA and its development has followed the process identified in the DAIP Guidelines[1].

The Draft DAIP has been prepared using information gathered via research and targeted consultation with people with a lived experience of disability, people who care for or support people with disability and key Council staff.

The Draft DAIP will be consulted on more broadly with the community prior to being finalised and adopted by Council.

Interested community members and especially those with a lived experience of disability are encouraged to give their feedback and suggestions on the draft document.
