Disability Access and Inclusion Plan (DAIP)
The City of Perth’s Disability, Access and Inclusion Plan (DAIP) 2026 - 2030 was endorsed by Council in July 2026 and outlines the outcomes and key focus areas that will guide the City in creating a more accessible, inclusive and welcoming capital city for all people.
The Plan adopts a contemporary, intersectional approach to access and inclusion, recognising that barriers to participation may arise from disability, culture, language, age, socioeconomic circumstances, technology, mobility requirements and other lived experiences.
The DAIP focuses on three key outcomes:
- Welcoming and accessible events and services
- Safe, inclusive and accessible spaces, buildings and infrastructure
- Demonstrated leadership
The Plan aligns with the requirements of the Disability Services Act 1993 (WA) and the Disability Services Regulations 2004 (WA), while supporting the City's broader commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion. It recognises that accessible and inclusive design benefits everyone and is essential to creating a city where all people can participate, belong and thrive.
Development of the DAIP was informed by extensive consultation with community members, people with lived experience, the City's Access and Inclusion Advisory Group, staff and other stakeholders. More than 2,000 engagements were undertaken to help shape the Plan's outcomes and priorities.
Physical copies of the Plan are available upon request and can be provided in alternative formats, including audio, braille, Word and accessible PDF formats. If you require the Plan in an alternative format, please contact the City of Perth on (08) 9461 3333.
