The Kiama Municipal Council’s new Disability Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP) 2023-27 was endorsed on 21 November 2023.

Council’s new DIAP aligns with the Principles of Social Justice, Kiama Community Strategic Plan 2022-32, and is informed by the principles outlined in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2006) and the NSW Disability Inclusion Plan 2021-25. It presents Councils’ vision for an inclusive and accessible community, and outlines key actions Council will undertake within the following NSW Disability Inclusion Action Plan focus areas:

Developing positive community attitudes and behaviours.
Accessible and liveable communities.
Meaningful employment and economic participation.
Systems and processes.

The new DIAP builds on Council and community’s work in making our towns accessible and service and program inclusive of people with the disability.
