New partnership to shape Ararat’s Disability Action Plan

ARARAT Rural City Council has partnered with the community to develop a Disability Action Plan that reflects real community needs and delivers practical, meaningful change across the municipality. The dedicated Disability Action Plan Working Group will ensure the plan is shaped from the start by people who understand disability from personal, professional and caring perspectives. The working group will review council’s service provision for people living with a disability and identify council policies and programs for improvement.
