Tick of approval for Access and Inclusion Action Plan

27 June 2024

At Council’s General Meeting on 18 June 2024, Council endorsed the Gladstone Regional Council Access and Inclusion Action Plan 2024-27, a series of action items that form a three-year roadmap towards our goal: to improve accessibility and inclusivity.

General Meeting | 18 June 2024

It is an organisation-wide plan that is designed to benefit all of the community and a commitment to view accessibility and inclusion as a priority in everything we do.

Our vision is a thriving and inclusive community where diversity is celebrated, and all individuals have equal access to opportunities and resources. A region that fosters safety, belonging and prosperity from everyone.

Our community engagement process specifically targeted groups such as individuals with disabilities, culturally and linguistically diverse communities, seniors aged 65 and above, LGBTIQA+ individuals and First Nations people, ensuring their voices and perspectives were central in shaping the plan's objectives and initiatives.

Next step

The endorsed plan is available now and we look forward to officially launching the Action Plan in July 2024.
