Whyalla City Council – Caring about our community
Disability Access and Inclusion Survey
Whyalla City Council is in the process of developing its inaugural Access and Inclusion Disability Plan (DAIP).
The plan will assist Council in improving access and inclusion to all residents whilst setting the framework to ensure that those people living with a disability will be able to access and participate in mainstream services and programs.
Council recognises that social inclusion is fundamental to a person’s quality of life and critical to achieving positive life outcomes across all areas.
In broad terms Access ensures that every member of the community can use the physical environment, transport, information, and services equally. Inclusion moves beyond that by recognising that attitudes and expectations may exclude people just as much as lack of ramps or accessible parking.
In developing the DAIP, Council will ensure it is aligning with the Disability Inclusion Act 2018, the Disability Inclusion Regulations 2019 (SA) and the State Disability Inclusion Plan.
Council would like to ensure it is meeting its strategic direction of providing a range of services and facilities which promote a safe and engaged community, that is healthy, culturally and socially rich.
To assist Council in the process of developing the plan, we would love to hear feedback from you via the following survey.
The survey is open from 25 June to 17 July 2020.
Hard copies can be forwarded to the address below whilst online can be submitted electronically. If you require assistance in completing the survey, or require it in any other format, please contact Council's Community Services Team on 8640 3444.
