Help us develop our Inclusion (Disability) Action Plan 2017 - 2021

Council is committed to the ethos of “A Community for Everyone” - a community that is an inclusive and welcoming for people of all abilities that supports the community’s aspirations articulated in the Inverell Shire’s Community Strategic Plan. Council gives “voice” to this commitment and community aspiration by promoting and supporting the equal and active participation by people with disability in the economic and social life of the community. Inverell Shire Council’s Community Strategic Plan (ISCSP) embraces the aspirations for the Shire’s diverse communities. The delivery of these aspirations relies on the collaborative and committed effort between government, business and community.

The need for a collaborative approach and committed effort resulted in the Council adopting as its mission: ‘To work with the community in providing and facilitating the provision of services that enhance the quality of life of all Shire residents’

The Inclusion (Disability) Action Plan (IDAP) is a vital component of this mission. It supports the aims and objectives of the ISCSP, Delivery Plan and the Management/Operational Plan.

As part of the IDAP review, we would like to hear from you, those with disability and those that are part of the lives of those with disability, to contribute to creating an all inclusive community.
