Albany residents urged to join City’s access and inclusion working group

Albany residents living with a disability or community members with experience in reducing barriers to inclusion are wanted for a City of Albany working group to make the city more accessible.

The Access and Inclusion Working Group gives advice to the City on ways to improve access and ensure the community can help shape accessibility.

Registrations to join the working group are open to people with a disability or people with experience or skills in reducing barriers to access and inclusion. Interest must be made before November 26.

City community development co-ordinator Tammy Flett said identifying opportunities to improve the City’s Access and Inclusion Plan was essential.

“The group plays an important advisory role in the delivery of the plan and ensuring community have a voice when it comes to their city’s accessibility,” she said.

“Developing our Access and Inclusion Working Group to ensure we have broad representation is key to making our city more accessible.

“This group will also act as a liaison with the wider community and provide feedback where it is appropriate.”
