As a member of the DAIP Co-Design group, I had an opportunity to hear directly from people who this plan affects the most, which helps me better understand what needs to happen going forward to ensure Mount Gambier is as accessible as it can be for everyone.

There's always more than can be done in this space, and as we learn more and hear more from people with disabilities, we can better understand what the roadblocks are and what role Council can play when it comes to things like public events, indoor and outdoor spaces and education.

This plan also includes a commitment within the DAIP to advance works in making public toilets easier to access, something that was raised quite often during the consultation.

There's a lot to do, but the first step is having a robust plan in place - created by the people who will benefit most from it.
