Following two rounds of consultation Council adopted the Disability Inclusion Action Plan 2023 - 2026 on 14 August 2023.

Thank you to everyone who gave us feedback either at one of our community pop-up sessions or via the submission process.

The Disability Inclusion Action Plan focuses on outcomes such as:

• ensuring all public Council buildings, parks and gardens, open spaces, and facilities have clear access information on the City of Stonnington website to inform dignified access and experiences for community members with disability
• continuing to build on plans for accessible and inclusive playgrounds, parks, and gardens within Stonnington
• providing support and educate community, arts and theatre groups, sporting/leisure clubs, and social organisations of the importance of diversity and inclusion.

The Disability Inclusion Action Plan outlines our commitment to supporting people with disability, their families and carers to enjoy wellbeing, dignity and social independence in Stonnington.

The survey will take approximately 10 minutes to complete and will be available until 30 June 2023.

The action plan and survey are both available in Easy Read. To submit your Easy Read survey please call Miranda on 0436 337 081 or email access@stonnington.vic.gov.au.

If you have any questions about the survey or the City of Stonnington DIAP and how it will be developed, please email: connect@stonnington.vic.gov.au or call 8290 1333.⁠

We are committed to making Stonnington an inclusive, welcoming and supportive environment for all.
