The final Access and Inclusion Plan has been endorsed by Council. Thank you to everyone who provided feedback.

The new Plan outlines our commitment to improve participation and inclusion for people with disability within our community. The Plan outcomes we want to achieve by 2021 are:

• To have in place an active and engaged network representing the voices of people with disability in our community.
• To demonstrate a significant increase in Council’s organisational disability confidence.
• To be an Employer of Choice for people with disability.
• To be regarded as a valued partner across industry sectors to lead access and inclusion initiatives within the City of Port Phillip.

The draft Access and Inclusion Plan was open for a month-long period of community consultation earlier this year. Pop up sessions at St Kilda and Port Melbourne libraries were held in addition to sessions for community members and service providers.

There will be ongoing consultation with key stakeholders as we roll out the implementation plan, which is the supporting document to the new Plan.

The Access and Inclusion Plan 2019 – 2021 is available to download from the City of Port Phillip website.
