What does this Committee do?
Everyone in Waverley should have equitable access to Council's services, buildings and infrastructure. Sometimes this requires Council to make changes to the physical and social environment. Wholistic planning that considers the needs of people with a disability results in good access for everyone.
The aim of the access committee is to facilitate an informed, pro-active, coordinated approach to the development of strategies that make Waverley a safer, more accessible and inclusive place for everyone, with specific reference to the needs of people with disability, people with reduced mobility and older people; and to promote co-operation between Council, the community, government and non-government agencies in relation to access issues.
How often does the Committee meet?
Waverley Council's Access committee meets bimonthly from February through November and is chaired by:
Councilor Elaine Keenan
Telephone: 0468 498 085
Email: Elaine.Keenan@waverley.nsw.gov.au
Who attends the meetings?
Membership includes organisations, community and individual resident representatives, who may be people with a disability, carers or service providers. Membership is by application.
How does the Committee operate?
The Access Advisory Committee’s role is to:
- Assist Council in the identification of barriers to people's participation in community life and respond to matters referred to the Committee
- Share information and keep members up to date with policy and good practice for a safer, more accessible and inclusive area
- Provide input and strategic advice in the development, implementation and review of Council’s strategies, policies and practices as outlined in Council's Access and Mobility Action Plan
- Provide input to improve equitable and independent access to Council infrastructure, facilities, services and events
- Provide input into helping Council to keep the broader community informed and engaged regarding the needs of people of all abilities
The Access Advisory Committee does not undertake or provide detailed technical or operational advice. In these instances, Council will seek advice from relevant staff and when necessary from independent, specialist consultants.
