The Access and Inclusion Advisory Panel 2022-26 identifies actions that Council can take to improve access to services and facilities, while raising awareness of ageing and disability within Council and the community. The panel supports initiatives which promote non-discriminatory access and use of services and facilities and monitors Council's non-discriminatory access and use policies and their implementation.
The Panel also contributes information for Council's plans and policies relevant to the target groups and provides advice to Council on programs and events to ensure the inclusion of people from the target groups.
The Panel operates in accordance with the Access and Inclusion Advisory Panel Charter.
