Summary
The purpose of this report is for the Community Access Committee to consider supporting the revised Disability Access and Inclusion Plan 2012 – 2017.
Following amendments to the Disability Services Act 1993 Western Australian public authorities have until July 1 2014 to amend their current Disability Access and Inclusion Plans to incorporate a seventh Outcome.
Executive Recommendation
That the Community Access Committee notes and supports the revised Disability Access and Inclusion Plan 2012 – 2017 to be presented to Council at their Ordinary Meeting on Tuesday 15 April.
Background
As the Committee is aware, the City of Bunbury has in place a Disability Access and Inclusion Plan 2012 – 2017 (the “DAIP”) which encompasses six Outcomes outlining the various ways the City is working to improve access to its various services and facilities.
Amendments to the Disability Services Act and Regulations gazetted on 11 June 2013 require local government organisations to incorporate a seventh Outcome into their respective DAIPs prior to July 1 2014.
DAIPs must now include information about how public authorities will increase the employment opportunities for people with disability, and how potential barriers to employment will be addressed.
At their meeting dated Friday 7 February 2014, the Committee provided feedback to the Community Development Officer – Access on potential tasks and strategies to be included in this seventh Outcome. Following this meeting, additional consultation methods were implemented including an online and hard copy survey.
As a result of this consultation, a revised DAIP with a draft Outcome has been developed (see Attachment A).
This Outcome contains numerous strategies and tasks to be completed over the remaining life of the DAIP, with the Human Resources and Community Development teams holding primary responsibility for this.
Council Policy Compliance
There is no Council policy applicable to this report.
Legislative Compliance
The Disability Services Act and Regulations 1993 require all Western Australian local governments to introduce a seventh outcome into their Disability Access and Inclusion Plans by July 1 2014.
Officer Comments
Through the consultation process (see “Community Consultation” below), including the Committee round table brainstorm conducted at the previous meeting, a number of specific actions were identified as potential components of the new Outcome Seven.
Concurrent with the structure of the DAIP, these specific actions have been incorporated into broader tasks and strategies. These actions have been internally noted against the tasks for consideration at the time the tasks are scheduled for completion. For example, the action “Include a disclaimer at the bottom of job advertisements encouraging applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and people with disability” will be considered as part of work to complete the task “Review job advertisement template and process for accessibility.”
Analysis of Financial and Budget Implications
There are no financial and budget implications applicable to this report.
Community Consultation
A number of targeted and generalised consultation processes have been undertaken as follows:
• Round-table brainstorm discussion at Community Access Committee meeting dated Friday 7 February 2014;
• Survey developed and distributed to Community Development Team industry networks as well as being made available on the City of Bunbury website and in hard-copy at the Administration Centre;
• Local Disability Employment Services (DES) individually contacted;
• Face-to-face meeting held with one DES.
Councillor/Officer Consultation
