Great Lakes Council Access Committee
Last modified: July 6, 2009 - 2:05 PM
The Access Committee was established to provide a forum where equal access to all facilities and services within our local government area is not only considered but incorporated into any strategic planning.
The Committee comprises people who either:
- Reside in the Great Lakes Council area or adjoining Local Government areas.
- Have a physical/intellectual disability.
- Care for someone with a disability.
- Are interested in, or have an understanding of issues regarding disability and equal access.
- Are on Council staff, or
- Are a Councillor with Great Lakes Council.
Members of the public are welcome to attend Access Committee meetings or to lodge issues for discussion by the Committee.
Meetings are held on the first Monday of each month, 10.00am to 12 noon at Council's Administration Building, Breese Parade, Forster.
The Committee's role is to:
- Strive to ensure equity and accessibility is provided through services and facilities.
- Promote through advocacy, within Council and the wider community, a positive awareness of disability issues.
- Encourage and support initiatives that promote equal access opportunities in the Great Lakes.
