The City of Whyalla is committed to providing services, facilities, and future planning strategies to support residents that are identified as having a disability and to embed ‘inclusivity’ as part of its ethos. Whyalla City Council recognises the value that all residents bring to the community and is dedicated to ensuring an inclusive culture that optimises opportunities for residents with a disability. It also acknowledges that it is critical that policies and strategies are developed to support accessible and engaging environments and communities for all vulnerable residents now and into the future. In 2018, the Disability Inclusion Act 2018 (SA) (the Act) was passed due to the South Australian Government recognising that a stronger commitment to access and inclusion planning for people living with disability was needed. This is Whyalla City Council’s inaugural Disability Access and Inclusion Plan (DAIP) which has been prepared in accordance with the Act. The plan also supports the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD).
