As the City of Canada Bay concludes its 2020–2025 Disability Inclusion Action Plan, the Council is setting its sights on the next phase of advancing accessibility and inclusion across the community.

The four-year plan has served as a key framework guiding the Council’s efforts to create a more inclusive city, outlining practical actions to improve access, participation, and opportunities for persons with disabilities.

“As a community, we are at our best when everyone can participate, contribute, and belong. Our next Disability Inclusion Action Plan 2026–2030 is a vital step toward making the City of Canada Bay even more accessible and inclusive for all,” said City of Canada Bay Mayor Michael Megna.

Council is currently seeking input as we develop the new DIAP to guide our work in improving access to Council venues, information, services and employment. The document also covers how Council will promote the right of people living with disability.

“We want to ensure that the voices of people with disability, their families, carers and advocates are at the heart of this plan. Your ideas and experiences will help shape the actions we take over the next four years to build a City where everyone can thrive,” Mayor Megna added.
