MR STEPHEN GLEN GENERAL MANAGER OF CESSNOCK CITY COUNCIL The Disability Inclusion Action Plan 2017-2021 provides Council with a path to improve access and inclusion for its services, infrastructure, communications and business systems. The development of the Plan has provided Council with an opportunity to formally identify issues facing both people with disability and their carers. This framework developed with the support of the community will better inform Council on how to create a more inclusive community for both residents and visitors to the Cessnock local government area. Council will build on and improve accessibility for people of all abilities and demonstrate by example, inclusive practices and attitudes. We will work collaboratively with government departments, businesses, community organisations and groups in advocating for and achieving inclusive and accessible communities. Council recognises that for the successful delivery of the Plan and its actions, collaborative partnerships are the key to improving access and inclusion for all people. In demonstrating Council’s commitment in delivering the Plan’s listed actions, it has been embedded within Council’s Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework. The progress in delivering the listed actions including the Plan’s achievements will be reported back to the community including being documented in Council’s Annual Report.
