About
Council invites Golden Plains Shire community members to provide feedback on the Draft Disability Action Plan Strategic Framework 2025-2029 (the Draft Plan).
Following an initial period of community consultation, Council endorsed the Draft Plan for further community input at its 25 June meeting. The community is now invited to provide feedback on the Draft Plan from Friday 28 June until 5pm, Friday 26 July.
The Draft Plan has been developed to create a framework that supports people with disabilities and other access challenges, enabling them to engage with Council and access all the organisation’s services.
The Draft Plan’s objective is to enable clearly identifiable actions in the Council Plan that aim to improve the overall quality of life for people living, working and visiting the Shire. Council is committed to eliminating barriers which directly or indirectly discriminate against people with disabilities.
Council aims to ensure the plan aligns with community aspirations and the needs of people with disability and their families within Golden Plains Shire.
