2. Accessible communities

What is our goal?

A group of people from the community with their hands raised and a thumbs up above them. Some of the people have disability.

We want our community to be a place where everyone can take part in community life.

This includes people with disability.
A park, toilet icons, a library building, and a beach.

We want everyone to go to and use places like:

  • parks
  • toilets
  • libraries
  • beaches.

What will we do?

A person reading a document and a location marker.

We will check that everyone can find and use things in the community.

For example, toilets and buildings.
A person sharing their experiences with someone else.

We will listen to any problems people have when they need to find and use things in the community.

This includes how to find and use information.
A group of people working together on documents and laptops.

We will work with the government and other groups to make sure our communities are good to live in.

A shopping basket, an accessibility icon, and a person supporting someone else.

We will help different groups in the community learn about ways to make things accessible.

This includes things like shops and services.
A map with 2 location markers on it.

We will give people information about what parts of the community are:

  • accessible
  • inclusive.

For example, we will create maps.
A sign with braille and a person using their hand to read it.

We will also make signs and guides for people with disability to move around open spaces.
