Disability Policy and Action Plan
The Disability Policy and Action Plan provides the framework for the City of Greater Shepparton to address disability access issues across all Council areas of responsibility in line with the Council Plan, 2030 Strategy and Municipal Public Health Plan. The strategies developed will assist the Council in removing barriers and providing equity of access to Council services, facilities and employment for all people.
The Disability Policy and Action Plan responds to the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA) and recognises the variety of access challenges, often created unintentionally, but which impede access to areas of Council responsibility. These areas include physical, cultural and social environments and experiences.
The Disability Policy and Action Plan is an active document which is currently under comprehensive review and will be circulated for further consultation in May 2006. In addition, the adopted Plan will change as it is reviewed and evaluated and the practical implications of the DDA are addressed.
