Help Shape Our New Disability Inclusion Action Plan
Wingecarribee Shire Council is developing a new Disability Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP), and we’re inviting people with disability, carers, advocates, community members, service providers and local organisations to help shape it.
The NSW Disability Inclusion Act 2014 requires all Councils in NSW to prepare a new DIAP every four years. The new DIAP will set out actions for Council to undertake to help build an inclusive and accessible community.
The Plan will provide Council with a clear set of actions and strategies to be undertaken from July 2026 to June 2030 to improve inclusion for the whole community.
If you could change one thing to make our community more inclusive and accessible for people with disability, what would it be?

Share Your Thoughts
Complete our online survey below
Your feedback is a way for you to share your thoughts and ideas on a particular issue or project. The goal is to make sure your voice and the community’s voices are heard and considered. It helps provide valuable insights, identify potential issues and suggest improvements. This way, decisions can be more inclusive, transparent and effective, reflecting what you and the community really needs and wants.
Responses to engagement projects are compiled and considered. When projects are reported to Council to make a decision a summary of community feedback will be included. Updates on projects will be included in these pages and elsewhere on Council's website.
Sometimes it takes some months to provide feedback to the community and to make a decision as further investigation is often needed. We are listening and we do take your suggestions on board!
