The Town of Bassendean is pleased to announce that its Disability Access and Inclusion Plan (DAIP) 2024-2028 was officially adopted by Council at the Ordinary Council Meeting on Tuesday, 19 November 2024. This new plan builds on the progress made under the previous DAIP (2019-2024).

The DAIP outlines the Town’s commitment to enhancing accessibility and inclusion in Bassendean, with the aim of enabling people of all abilities to participate more fully in social, economic, and recreational activities. The plan builds on the progress made over the last five years and provides a roadmap for improving access to services, facilities, and opportunities for all residents, particularly those with disabilities.

The DAIP was developed following a community consultation process, which took place from 16 September to 14 October 2024. The Town invited feedback from residents and stakeholders to help shape the plan, ensuring it reflects the needs and priorities of the community. Contributions from the consultation have been instrumental in refining the final version of the plan.

The DAIP 2024-2028 outlines actions to improve access to public spaces, enhance services to be more inclusive, and promote a community culture that values diversity and inclusion. Key actions the Town will implement include incorporating universal access principles into the Playgrounds Renewal Program and establishing a Disability Access and Inclusion Working Group, which will include community representatives to help monitor the plan's progress and review its effectiveness.

View the plan on our website. Audio and large print versions will be available shortly. If you have any questions or need help to access the plan, contact the Community Development team at 9377 8000 or at [email protected].
