Richmond Valley Council is committed to the Richmond Valley being inclusive and accessible for people of all abilities, particular for people with disability and older people. The Disability Inclusion Action Plan 2017 – 2021 guides Council’s planning and actions to promote accessibility in our community.
Our Disability Inclusion Action Plan
Under the NSW Disability Inclusion Act 2014, Council is required to undertake disability inclusion action planning and have an adopted plan in place. The current Plan, adopted in June 2017, was developed based on extensive community consultation and in collaboration with other Northern Rivers councils. It covers the following four focus areas:
- changing attitude and behaviours towards people with disabilities in the community
- making our community liveable and accessible for all
- improving employment opportunities for people with disabilities
- improving accessibility of systems and processes
