Help finalise Willoughby's 2027-2031 draft Disability Inclusion Action Plan

The draft Plan outlines the actions Council will take over the next four years to improve accessibility, inclusion and participation for people with disability across Willoughby City.

Earlier this year, community members, people with disability, carers, support workers, service providers and residents shared their experiences and ideas with us. This feedback has helped shape the draft Plan.

Building on the achievements of previous plans and Council's ongoing commitment to inclusion and accessibility, the draft DIAP outlines 20 key actions designed to improve participation, access and opportunities for people with disability across Willoughby Local Government Area.

Now we'd like to know: Have we got it right?
