Community Disability Ability Inclusion Strategy

Ability Inclusion Strategic Plan

What is the Ability Inclusion Strategic Plan?

The Ability Inclusion Strategic Plan is City of Salisbury’s Disability Access and Inclusion Plan. It has been developed with extensive community consultation. It is a plan to achieve 8 outcomes that were identified by the community which will make Salisbury an inclusive, accessible and welcoming place for people of all abilities to live, work and play.

Why is it required?

State Government legislation now requires all local governments to have a Disability Access and Inclusion Plan.

What was the initial community consultation process?

During the development of the Ability Inclusion Strategic Plan, Council consulted over 120 community members to learn what would make Salisbury a better place for people with disabiilty to live, work and be a part of. A number of community consultations were held including focus groups, inclusion forums and online. Those who took part included people with disability, carers and families, organisations and groups that support people with disability, and service providers.

A video summary of the findings for the first round of consultation can be found here.
