Disability Inclusion Action Plan

Cessnock City Council is committed to making our community more inclusive and accessible for everyone.

We are developing the Disability Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP) 2025-2029, and we need your input to make sure it reflects the needs and aspirations of our community.

Council can make better decisions when people with disability share their challenges, ideas, knowledge and experience.

Why Your Feedback Matters: If you have a disability, care for someone with a disability, or are involved in supporting people with disabilities, your insights are invaluable. Your feedback will help us understand the challenges and opportunities in our area and guide our actions to support inclusion and accessibility.
