The Disability Services Commission (DSC) Board has highlighted Armadale as one of the few local governments at the forefront of access and inclusion in Western Australia.
The meeting was a chance for Armadale to present itself as an organisation on the front foot of access and inclusion.
“It was fantastic to have the DSC Board visit Armadale on 5 June. We were able to highlight the grassroots work we are doing with access and inclusion to make this City a great place to live, work and visit for those with a disability,” said Armadale Mayor Henry Zelones OAM JP.
“The Board were impressed with the steps the City is taking to continue to make our community accessible. The Chairperson highlighted that Armadale was a place he felt welcomed and comfortable to visit as a father of a son with a disability, which is a fantastic compliment.
“The City was one of the first local governments in Western Australia to lodge its Disability Services Plan (now known as the Disability Access and Inclusion Plan) with the Disability Services Commission.
“We made a commitment to create an inclusive community a long time ago. We continue to work very hard to foster inclusion and make the City one which is accessible in all aspects,” he said.
