Two Fleurieu councils are updating their Disability Access and Inclusion Plans for 2026–30 and are inviting the community to provide feedback.

The District Council of Yankalilla and Alexandrina Council want input from the community, particularly people who live with disability, care for someone with disability, work as a support worker, or are part of an organisation that supports people with disability to live well.

The plans guide how councils work to remove barriers and improve the way all people of all abilities engage with services, facilities, programs and decision-making. 

They say community input is essential to ensure the plans reflect local experiences and support inclusion across the region.

The South Australian Disability Inclusion Plan 2025- 2029 has identified priority areas and measures that all plans will need to include.

They include inclusive environments and communities; education and employment; personal and community support; and safety, rights and justice.

Alexandrina Council’s plan can be viewed on its website. 

It will hold drop-in information sessions at the Goolwa library on Wednesday 11 February and at Strathalbyn library on Friday 13 February, both from 9.30am to 12noon.

District Council of Yankalilla’s plan can be viewed online; it will hold an information drop-in session at the Yankalilla library on Tuesday 24 February from 10am to 12noon.

Consultation for both council plans close on Friday 27 February and the final draft of the plans will be presented to the councils by April.
