Cardinia Shire Council's draft Disability Action Plan is available for public comment on www.cardinia.vic.gov.au/haveyoursay
The draft Disability Action Plan sets out what Council will do to make our community, services, programs and workplace more accessible to people with disability.
The Disability Action Plan is based on four key principles in the Victorian Disability Act 2006:
reducing barriers to people with a disability in accessing goods, services, and facilities
reducing barriers to people with a disability in obtaining and maintaining employment
promoting inclusion and participation of people with a disability in the community
achieving tangible changes in attitudes and practices which discriminate against people with a disability
The draft plan has been developed based on extensive feedback from the community as well as disability sector service providers, advocates and organisations gathered through online surveys, a series of online workshops and pop-up events held across the shire.
