Improving access

Council promotes and facilitates improved access to buildings, public places, and services. The 2018 Survey of Disability, Ageing and Carers shows approximately 10% of the Randwick LGA have reported having a disability. Additionally, Randwick City Council co-convenes the City and Eastern Sydney Ageing and Disability Interagency. This interagency allows for collaboration, discussion and the sharing of information between organisations regarding the ageing and disability services sector.

Disability Inclusion Action Plan

Randwick City Council is committed to building a community where people of all abilities can live, work, learn, and participate fully. A City that is accessible, inclusive and welcoming, where barriers are removed, opportunities are created, and diversity is celebrated.

The NSW Disability Inclusion Act 2014 requires Local Councils to develop a Disability Inclusion Plan (DIAP) every four years. The purpose of the DIAP is to provide a clear framework for removing barriers, creating opportunities and ensuring people with disability can participate fully in community life.

Randwick’s Disability Inclusion Action Plan 2026-2030 was adopted by Randwick City Council at its Ordinary Council meeting on Tuesday 30 June 2026.

“This Plan has been shaped through consultation with people with disability, carers, families, and community partners. Their voices have guided us to focus on practical actions that make a real difference strengthening access and inclusion,” Randwick Mayor Dylan Parker.

The DIAP identifies four key focus areas:

• Focus Area 1: Attitudes and behaviours – This focus area is about strengthening understanding of disability and fostering attitudes and behaviours that support inclusion.
• Focus Area 2: Liveable communities – This focus area is about improving the accessibility, safety and usability of Randwick’s physical and public spaces to meet a range of needs.
• Focus Area 3: Employment – This focus area is about strengthening pathways to employment and supporting people with disability to participate fully in work and community life.
• Focus Area 4: Systems and Processes – This focus area is about making information, communication and Council systems easier to access and navigate.
