Council is developing a new Disability Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP) to help create a more inclusive and accessible community where everyone can participate in community life.

The DIAP will outline the actions Council, together with our community, will take over the next four years to improve access to services, facilities, events and information for people with disability. It focuses on areas that Council can directly influence, including local public spaces and facilities, Council services, community programs, events, and the way we communicate and share information.

Under NSW legislation, all councils are required to prepare a Disability Inclusion Action Plan and review it every four years. Murray River Council's current plan was adopted in 2022, and this new plan will guide our priorities for the years ahead.

As part of the plan’s development, we've been seeking feedback from community members to understand what's working well, what barriers still exist, and where improvements can be made.
