Wyndham council is developing its accessibility and inclusion plan for 2026–2030 and is inviting community views on how to build a more inclusive and accessible municipality.
Mayor Mia Shaw said the community’s voice is important to help create a city where people with disabilities can thrive.
This plan will guide how we build a more inclusive, accessible, and supportive Wyndham City for all members of our community,” Cr Shaw said.
“If you have a lived experience of disability, are a carer, advocate or community member passionate about inclusion – we invite you to share your voice.”
She said the existing Wyndham Accessibility and Inclusion Plan includes a vision and four pillars which are now open for review.
“We’d like to know whether that vision remains consistent with what our community needs now and into the future,” Cr Shaw said.
“By aligning with both legislative obligations and the Wyndham Community Vision, this plan is about furthering our journey to a more inclusive future.”
Successes from the previous plan include the introduction of the Sunflower initiative in 2024 to Wyndham council facilities, the initiative created awareness around hidden disabilities.
It also established the Wyndham Disability Services Network working group in 2024 and delivered the Wyndham Disability Connection Expo in 2025.
Several drop in sessions will also be held across the month of November.
