We are committed to developing and celebrating a diverse and vibrant community.
Our Inclusion Advisory Committee (IAC) (formerly the Disability Access and Inclusion Committee) aims to create an inclusive and connected community where all people are valued and recognised for their contribution.
IAC members advise on emerging issues, concerns and opportunities for Council to address to ensure fair and equitable access to services and facilities, and to build an inclusive community for all abilities.
Our Age-Friendly Strategy is based on the World Health Organisation’s Age-friendly Cities model. The strategy was developed with input from our community including volunteers, community groups, industry and residents.
Our community has shared their perspective on ageing in the region and the result is clear — older people play a valuable role in making our community vibrant, inclusive and sustainable. Keep an eye out for further updates as we take on board responses from the community and relevant stakeholders.
An annual survey to evaluate our progress will be distributed during Seniors’ Month in October
