Consultation sessions for All Abilities Inclusion Action Plan

Published: 11 Mar 2022 11:41am

Wagga Wagga City Council will hold a series of online and in-person consultation sessions next week as part of its review and update of the All Abilities Inclusion Action Plan 2022-2026 which was formerly named the Disability Inclusion Action Plan 2017- 2021.

The All Abilities Inclusion Action Plan 2022-2026 will assist Council to understand and prioritise infrastructure, services and programs to increase wellbeing, connectedness and quality of life for people living with all abilities in our community.


All Abilities Inclusion Action Plan Survey


Social Planning Coordinator Sarah Lehman said it is important for residents to have their say on what they would like to see incorporated into the new plan.

“We launched an online survey on 7 February which has received a strong response from the community,” Ms Lehman said.

“In addition, we will be holding a number of in person and online consultation opportunities from Tuesday to Friday next week (15-18 March).

“We are encouraging people to participate as their feedback will help inform the priority actions to be reported in the plan, so Wagga Wagga is a liveable community for all-abilities individuals, their families and carers.”
