Updated Disability Access and Inclusion Plan 2026–2031 – Community Review

The Shire of Gnowangerup has updated its draft Disability Access and Inclusion Plan (DAIP) 2026–2031 following community consultation and is inviting residents to review the revised document.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to provide feedback during the initial consultation period. The feedback has helped identify areas for improvement and shape the Shire's priorities for accessibility and inclusion over the next five years.

Key areas highlighted through consultation included:

• Improving footpath accessibility for people using wheelchairs and mobility scooters.

• Greater awareness and understanding of hidden disabilities and neurodiversity.

• Improving access to information, including large-print documents and translation services.

• More inclusive playground equipment and public facilities.

• Improving accessibility and participation in Council meetings.

The updated plan outlines the Shire's ongoing commitment to ensuring people with disability have equal opportunities to access facilities, services, information, employment and community activities.

The revised draft DAIP 2026–2031 is now available for community review before being presented to Council for consideration.
