Riverland Disability Access & Inclusion Plan
The District Council of Loxton Waikerie, Renmark Paringa Council and Berri Barmera Council have worked together to develop a joint Disability Access and Inclusion Plan (the Plan) for the Riverland region.
A draft plan was formulated after consultation which included face-to-face workshops with community members, staff and Elected Members, plus an online survey.
Councils are required by law to have a plan that sets out how they will make their communities more inclusive and accessible for people with disability.
By working together, we’re creating a united approach that reflects the needs of our whole region - not just individual council areas.
The Plan will help guide how we:
- Make public spaces, buildings, and facilities easier for everyone to use
- Provide clear and accessible information
- Support participation in community life
- Make are towns more inclusive and accessible for all walks of life
Key Documents:
Endorsed by the three Riverland councils in June 2026, the following documents are now officially in place, ready to guide the councils on improvements to accessibility and inclusion across the region over the next four years.
The Riverland Councils have developed a simplified version of the Plan to complement the full document. Council staff will also be undertaking formal Easy Read training in the near future to support the development of an Easy Read version of the Plan, along with other key council management documents.
