Disability access is something that isn't on most people's radar - until if affects you personally (yes, there are empathetic souls out there who care, but we're speaking in general).
The Access Consultative Working Group is a group of people living with disability who are ensuring planning decisions around the Byron Shire include a voice for those whose needs might be overseen.
We loved meeting them and sharing their story.
Meet Andy. He's part of a group called the Access Consultative Working Group (ACWG) at Byron Shire Council, supporting access and inclusion for people with disability in our Shire.
He was also a blast to interview and we ended up speaking more about Saving Wallum than anything else! So inspiring. His longer story to follow...
Was a pleasure interviewing James Barrie for Save Wallum - Brunswick Heads!
We love the concept of Paddock Project!
