Access and Inclusion

The Shire of Chittering is committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, accessible and engaged community through the delivery of our services, programs and facilities.

Shire of Chittering – Access and Inclusion Plan 2026–2030

The Shire of Chittering’s Disability Access and Inclusion Plan (DAIP) 2026–2030 outlines our commitment to building an accessible, inclusive and welcoming community where people of all abilities can participate fully in civic life.

The Plan sets out practical actions across seven outcome areas, ensuring people with disability have the same opportunities as others to access Shire services, events, buildings, facilities, information, consultation processes and employment.

While the DAIP focuses on improving access for people with disability, many initiatives benefit the broader community, including parents with prams, older residents, visitors, families, people experiencing mental health challenges, and anyone who relies on clear communication, safe pathways, or accessible facilities.

The DAIP was lodged with the Department of Communities on 5 May 2026 and will be implemented from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2030. Progress against the outcomes will be reported annually to ensure the Plan is effectively delivered over this period.

Shire Of Chittering Disability, Access and Inclusion Consultation Toolkit

This toolkit explains how people with persons with disability can take part in consultations. It shows different ways to share ideas, give feedback, and be involved in decisions. The toolkit encourages people to have their say and helps make sure everyone is included. It also explains the support available to make participation easier. The goal is to make sure all voices are heard and to help build a more inclusive community.
