We want to hear from people living with disability about their experiences, concerns, and ideas for improving access and inclusion in the City of Unley area.

You are invited to contribute by: 

  1. Expressing your interest in becoming a part of the Access and Inclusion Reference Group.
  2. Requesting to present an issue or idea to Council.
  3. Contacting Darren Baynes in the Community Connections Business Unit.

Access and Inclusion Reference Group  

The City of Unley has an Access and Inclusion Reference group which brings together members of the community to help shape and influence areas relating to accessibility and inclusion within Unley. 

Members of The Reference Group may include;

  • People with a disability 
  • Parents and carers of children with a disability 
  • Disability support providers who work with City of Unley residents who have a disability. 

To find out more about the Access and Inclusion Reference Group or express your interest, please contact Darren Baynes via the details provided. 

How to speak to Council or a Council Committee 

Community members with disability are welcome to request to address Council about a community issue or idea. This is called a deputation request.  

Deputations provide individuals or groups in the community with an opportunity to present an issue to Elected Members at a Council meeting. Deputations are an important part of community participation in the decision-making process. The topic must be relevant to the responsibility of Council.  

If you wish to make a deputation at a Council meeting, you need to complete and return a deputation request form.  

To request support to fill in the form or attend a Council meeting, please contact Darren Baynes via the details provided.
