City of Busselton Council has announced its Disability Access and Inclusion Plan (DAIP) 2025-2029 was endorsed at its March meeting.
It says the new DAIP provides a strategic direction and comprehensive framework to improve access and inclusion across the City’s services, events, buildings and facilities, information, quality of service, feedback and complaints, public consultation and employment.
The DAIP was developed through an extensive community consultation and engagement process, which included an online survey, workshops, pop-up engagements, working with local community groups and the City’s Disability, Access and Inclusion Plan Reference Group.
“It’s encouraging to see this plan shaped by the voices of the community and individuals living with disabilities,” said Mayor, Phil Cronin.
“Their contribution has been invaluable in developing a plan that reflects the needs and priorities of the community and key stakeholders. The DAIP demonstrates the City’s ongoing dedication to fostering a connected, inclusive, accessible and welcoming environment for everyone.”
The Council will allocate $100,000 in its 2025/26 draft budget and in subsequent annual budgets, to support the implementation of key actions and outcomes identified within the Disability Access and Inclusion Plan 2025-2029.
