Council
adopted its Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) Action Plan in March
2007.
The Plan
allows Council to review its practices and programs and to identify
the possible sources of discrimination (intentional or unintentional)
against people with a disability. In doing so, Council can
remove barriers to access for people with disabilities and have
practical actions to further improve its services and facilities
which allows residents, visitors and workers with disabilities to
move about our community and to access services and facilities with
ease and dignity. The Plan is a result of an extensive process
of research, consultation and documentation. The Lane Cove
Council Access Committee has also provided significant input and
assistance into the plan.
The plan
has been also been lodged with the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity
Commission (HREOC).
