EOI - Access & Inclusion Committee

About the Committee

The Access and Inclusion Committee is a temporary advisory committee established to guide the development of Council’s Disability Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP). The Committee provides advice, lived experience and community input to help identify barriers to access and inclusion across the Dungog Shire and to shape the priorities of the DIAP.

The Committee will operate for the duration of the DIAP development process and will be dissolved upon adoption of the Plan by Council.
