DIAP adopted
Consultation on this project has now concluded and the plan has been adopted
Plan adopted 26 October 2021.
Following extensive community consultation a Draft Disability Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP) was developed and placed on exhibition.
The Draft Plan sets out what Council will do over the next four years to make the Central Coast more accessible and inclusive. This Plan will assist in ensuring that people with a disability can access the same services and supports that the rest of the community can access.
The vision for the Plan is “An accessible and inclusive place to live, visit, work and play” and it has 4 focus areas:
- Increasing positive attitudes and behaviours towards people with disability
- Making the Coast more accessible, liveable and inclusive
- Increasing meaningful employment for people with disability
- Improving access to Council services through better systems and processes
The draft Plan is based on what people with disabilities, their families and carers told us, as well as people who work in the disability sector and Council’s Access and Inclusion Reference Group. It is still important to ensure that we have got in right.
Submissions were to be addressed to the Chief Executive Officer, Mr David Farmer between 16 August and 13 September 2021 via email, post or by completing the online submission form.
There were a number of ways you could view the draft DIAP including:

Something you need to know: Under the Government Information (Public Access) Act, 2009 (GIPA ACT), members of the public can seek access to the submissions and council cannot give assurance that the document will remain confidential.
