Council adopted the Golden Plains Shire Disability Action Plan Strategic Framework 2025-2029 (the Strategic Framework) at its 26 August Council Meeting.
The Strategic Framework was adopted following an extensive community consultation process from March to July. The Framework is designed to enhance accessibility and inclusivity, enabling people with disabilities and other access challenges to fully engage with Council and benefit from Council’s services. The Framework outlines specific actions in the Council Plan aimed improving quality of life for all residents, workers and visitors to the Shire.
Golden Plains Shire Mayor Cr Brett Cunningham thanked everyone who contributed to finalising the Strategic Framework.
“The community engaged with Council in a range of ways to inform this important framework which gives us a clear pathway to create more opportunities and inclusivity for everyone in Golden Plains Shire,” Cr Cunningham said.
“Council is dedicated to ensuring that people with disabilities in the Shire can work, attend events, maintain independence and generally participate in everyday life the way they need to,” he said.
