DisAbility
The Kiama Municipal Council’s Disability Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP) 2023-27 was endorsed on 21 November 2023.
Council's DIAP aligns with the Principles of Social Justice, Kiama Community Strategic Plan 2022-32, and is informed by the principles outlined in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2006) and the NSW Disability Inclusion Plan 2026-2029. It outlines Councils commitment for an inclusive and accessible community, and outlines key actions Council will undertake within the following focus areas:
- Developing positive community attitudes and behaviours.
- Accessible and liveable communities.
- Meaningful employment and economic participation.
- Systems and processes.
The DIAP guides the work Council undertakes to improve inclusion and accessibility for residents and visitors with disability.
