Disability Access & Inclusion
The Shire of Donnybrook Balingup is committed to creating a diverse, inclusive, accessible and engaged community.
It is recognised in the community that improving access and inclusion for all people is a common goal. Through having accessible and inclusive services and facilities, people are enabled to lead lives of greater independence and participate in community life.
The Shire has made good progress towards improving access and inclusion of its services, facilities and information through the ongoing review and implementation of its Disability Access & Inclusion Plan (DAIP).
DAIP 2024-2029
It is a requirement that the DAIP is reviewed a minimum of every five (5) years, with the purpose of the review to assess how well strategies of identified outcome areas are achieving access and inclusion of people with disability.
The current Disability and Inclusion Plan (DAIP) was adopted in 2024 and provides a planned approach to progressively improve access to community services provided by the Shire of Donnybrook Balingup. The 2024-2029 DAIP is available online (click the button above), in print, or in alternative formats upon request. If you have questions or would like a copy of the Plan in an alternative format, please contact the Shire - the various ways you can reach us can be found on the page linked below.
