We are writing a new *Disability Access and Inclusion Plan*.

The Disability Access and Inclusion Plan says how we will make the City of Marion a better and fairer place for everyone.

We will call it the plan.

The plan will say what the council will do to:

• make buildings and outdoor places easier to use
• make information easier to find and understand
• help more people take part in council activities and decisions
• get support for your own ideas

Disability can mean different things to different people.

Some people see disability as part of who they are.

Some people think disability happens when places and systems do not meet people’s needs.

Some people have a health condition or *impairment* and need some help or changes, but they may not call it a disability.

Impairment means something does not work the right way.

This plan respects and includes all these views.

We want to hear ideas for the plan from

• people with disability
• carers and supporters
• other people in the community.

We talked to community members for 2 months in July and August 2025.

We heard from people with disability, carers, and the community.

People had many different backgrounds and experiences.
