A three-year Disability Action Plan for Logan is about to be scrutinised during a public feedback phase.
A council statement said the plan aims to support a highly inclusive local community for residents, businesses and visitors.
Australian Bureau of Statistics data shows more than 22,000 people in the City of Logan need daily assistance due to disability and more than 31,000 people provide unpaid help to someone with disability.
Council’s lifestyle chair Laurie Koranski said the plan outlined council’s obligations under state and federal legislation, and demonstrated a commitment to creating a city that is inclusive, accessible and welcoming for people of all abilities.
“It builds on our two previous plans and allows us to better support people living with disability to ensure they have access to spaces and services,” Cr Koranski said.
“Our focus will now be on making sure all abilities access and inclusion is considered as part of our core business as we have now moved beyond a compliance focus.”
The community can have its say on the draft Disability Action Plan 2023-2025 from Friday, December 16 until Sunday, February 5 via haveyoursaylogan.com.au.
