People with disability
We aim to make Albury an inclusive and accessible city for everyone and provide social and economic opportunities for people with disability.
We are working towards creating a city that is accessible and inclusive of everyone and provides equal opportunity for people with disability to enjoy what our city has to offer. Almost 90% of disabilities are ‘invisible’ disabilities, including chronic pain disorders, diabetes and depression. The invisibility of disability highlights the critical need to ensure that not only access but also inclusion is considered.
Access Advisory Group
AlburyCity has a disability Access Advisory Group which meets bi-monthly. Group members comprise of people with disability, those who care for someone with disability, disability sector employees, community members with a vested interest and AlburyCity employees.
The Group has been active for more than twenty years. It is proud of the many changes it has managed to implement and advocate for over this time, including assisting with the creation of two publications ‘Open for Business’ and ‘Getting about in Albury’.
The role of the Access Advisory Group is to:
- Advise Council on the barriers that prevent people with disabilities participating in programs, services and facilities across the city
- Provide input into decisions relating to alterations to Council buildings and the streetscape, and the development of programs that improve the quality of life of people with a disability
- Raise awareness of the positive contributions of people with a disability and the importance of accessibility for all people
- Advocate for important accessibility issues, including pedestrian safety and improved access to buildings.
