Disability Access and Inclusion Plan
Review of the Disability Access and Inclusion Plan 2018-2023
The Disability Access & Inclusion Plan (DAIP) 2018-2023 is currently under review and the Shire is seeking comments and feedback from community members, family, visitors and any organisation that has concepts, ideas or suggestions to improve access to services and facilities for people with disability. Under the Disability Services Act 1993, as amended, every local and state government agency must develop a DAIP.
A DAIP will help the Shire plan and implement improvements to access and inclusion across the seven outcome areas. These include services and events, building and facilities, information, quality of service, complaints management, consultation processes and employment.
These plans benefit people with disability, but also the community as a whole, including the elderly, parents with prams and people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
Please contact the Shire of Boyup Brook to request a copy of the DAIP in your preferred format or click HERE to access a copy. Submissions can be made by email to shire@boyupbrook.wa.gov.au in person at the Shire Administration Office during business hours or by mail.
Submission close 4:30pm Friday 7th June 2024.
Disability Access and Inclusion Plan General Information
The Shire of Boyup Brook’s Disability Access and Inclusion Plan 2018-2023 (DAIP) provides a planned approach to improving physical access to services and facilities, as well as incorporating inclusion at a participatory and service level.
The Plan reflects a commitment by the Shire of Boyup Brook to implement improvements to access and inclusion across seven outcome areas, in regards to services and events, buildings and facilities, information, quality of service, complaints, consultation processes and employment. The Plan benefits people with disability, the elderly, young parents and people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
The Western Australian Disability Services Act (1993) requires that local governments develop a DAIP in accordance with the format prescribed in the Act and subsidiary regulations. The Shire’s DAIP has been prepared in accordance with these requirements.
