New disability inclusive plan for Port Macquarie

A new action plan to improve inclusion and accessibility and liveability for people living with a disability has been launched by Port Macquarie Hastings Council.

On International Day of People with Disability on Wednesday, the Port Macquarie Hastings Community Inclusion and Disability Inclusion Action Plan 2025-2029 was announced alongside members of the Enable Disability Working Group (pictured), who Council says were integral to the development of the Plan.

“The Enable Working Group has been advocating for enhanced accessibility for people living with a disability, and input into council projects, plans and activities since their inception in 2024,” said Mayor, Adam Roberts.

“The Community Inclusion and Disability Inclusion Action Plan links accessibility with liveability, which is central to our vision for the community.

“Our commitment in terms of accessibility is outlined in the plan, which is to ensure people can use and access public spaces and facilities with comfort, safety and dignity.

“While there are always improvements to be made, this plan is a move in the right direction.”
