Council seeking feedback on accessibility and inclusion plan

This plan includes a range of strategies and actions to enhance access to Council services, information, support and infrastructure. Council are committed to the implementation of the plan over the next four years.

Greater Shepparton Mayor Jenny Houlihan said the UAIP was a significant plan for Council.

"The UAIP identifies how Council will work towards community members having access to Council facilities, documents and resources," Cr Houlihan said.

"I encourage our community to have a look at the document, or attend the information session so we can ensure we have captured the needs of our community."

An information session will be held on Monday 15 July at 1pm at the Council Office. All are welcome to attend. Please RSVP and advise of any requirements or dietary requests as afternoon tea will be provided.
