The plan, which councils are required under NSW legislation to review and update every four years, will guide actions to improve accessibility and inclusion throughout the region.
As part of the plan's development, council wants residents, people with disabilities, support workers, families, community organisations and businesses to share what is working well, what barriers to access still exist and what could be done better.
These barriers may include physical access, communication, attitudes, or systems and processes that people encounter when interacting with council.
The feedback will help identify practical actions that can be taken to create a more inclusive and accessible community.
Murray River Council Mayor John Harvie said the process is a way for every level of government to ensure they continue to create more accessible environments.
“We know the best way to understand the barriers people experience is by listening directly to our community, so I encourage people to share their ideas and experiences with our team,’’ he said.
People can give their feedback online, at a community workshop or by visiting one of the council’s pop-up consultation sessions.
Two sessions will be held from 10am to 1pm at Moama Marketplace on Tuesday, July 21, and at Barham IGA on Tuesday, July 23.
The community workshop, which will be facilitated by lived-experience consultants, will take place on Wednesday, July 22, from 10am to noon at Echuca library, 310 Hare St.
