Wattle Range Council Disability Access and Inclusion Plan
Under the Disability Inclusion Act 2018, all state authorities are required to create and implement their own Disability Access and Inclusion Plans (DAIPs) reporting on them annually and reviewing them every four years. These state authorities' DAIPs sit below the overarching State Plan.
Wattle Range Council's previous Disability Access and Inclusion Plan 2019-2023 and its associated actions was adopted at the Ordinary Meeting of Council held on 11 August 2020.
In May 2025, Council established a Co-design Group comprising community members, an elected member, and staff, facilitated by a disability representative organisation. The group met five times between May and September 2025 to review the previous Plan, analyse feedback from a community surveys and earlier forums, and provide recommendations for inclusive consultation.
The Wattle Range Council Disability Access and Inclusion Plan 2025-2029 was adopted by Council at its Ordinary meeting held on 9 December 2025.
The Co-Design Group will meet quarterly to assess the progress of the Plan and assist to prioritise business cases for future budgets. Council will report to the State Government on the progress of the Plan annually and will continue to showcase achievements of the Plan in the Quarterly Development Services report and Annual report.
