Foreward by the Mayor<br />

I am pleased to present the <strong>Monash</strong> <strong>Disability</strong> <strong>Access</strong><br />

<strong>and</strong> <strong>Inclusion</strong> <strong>Framework</strong> <strong>and</strong> Action Plan 2009-2013.<br />

The <strong>Framework</strong> is in line with Council’s commitment<br />

to an inclusive <strong>and</strong> connected community <strong>and</strong> will<br />

guide Council in addressing physical, communication<br />

<strong>and</strong> attitudinal barriers that prevent people with a<br />

disability, their families <strong>and</strong> carers in experiencing a<br />

rich <strong>and</strong> rewarding quality <strong>of</strong> life.<br />

I look forward<br />

to the successful<br />

implementation <strong>of</strong><br />

the <strong>Framework</strong><br />

<strong>and</strong> Action Plan<br />

<strong>and</strong> to report to<br />

Council <strong>and</strong> to the<br />

<strong>Monash</strong> community<br />

on outcomes<br />

achieved.<br />

The <strong>Monash</strong> <strong>Disability</strong> <strong>Access</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Inclusion</strong><br />

<strong>Framework</strong> <strong>and</strong> Action Plan 2009-2013 was developed<br />

in consultation with Council staff <strong>and</strong> with people<br />

with a disability, their families <strong>and</strong> carers <strong>and</strong> will be<br />

implemented over the next four years.<br />

Council is committed to <strong>and</strong> is uniquely placed to have<br />

a positive impact on the quality <strong>of</strong> life for people with<br />

a disability in our community. The <strong>Disability</strong> <strong>Access</strong><br />

<strong>and</strong> <strong>Inclusion</strong> <strong>Framework</strong> provides the framework to<br />

enable Council to fulfil its commitment to <strong>Access</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />

Equity <strong>and</strong> meet its responsibilities to people with a<br />

disability.<br />
