Feedback closed Monday 12 September 2022

Council will consider the post exhibition report at its meeting of 10 October 2022 - view the report on Council's website.

Council is preparing its next DIAP which will detail the actions to be undertaken for the period 2022-2026 to build a strong community that is inclusive of people with disability, living, working and visiting the area.

Council is committed to building on actions it has already undertaken from its previous DIAP to improve the inclusion of people with disability. An accessible and inclusive community benefits the everyone in the North Sydney community, including families with young children and older people, by making it easier to get around and participate.

The DIAP focuses on addressing the structural and attitudinal barriers that prevent people with disability from having equal access to information, places, services, transport, housing, education, training, employment, and social opportunities.

The Engagement Strategy (available from the document library) details how we engaged on this project.

The NSW Disability Inclusion Act (2014) requires that all NSW councils develop a Disability Inclusion Access Plan (DIAP).
