Purpose
Shellharbour City Council is committed to creating a city where all residents can live, work and play.

The Disability Access and Inclusion Advisory Committee is responsible for ensuring that Council is responsive to the diverse needs of the community and gives a voice to people within the community affected by access and inclusion. The committee will advocate and provide advice and priorities to maximise opportunities for people with a disability living or visiting the City.

The committee also has a critical role in providing advice on the implementation and monitoring of the Disability Access and Inclusion Plan (DAIP).

The DAIP defines Council’s strategic direction for enhancing the accessibility and inclusiveness of the City for all residents.
