Accessibility

Marrickville Council is strongly committed to ensuring people with a disability have equal opportunity to take part in local activities and have fair access to Council and community programs, services and resources.

In working to achieve this, Council maintains planning controls to guide provision of access and mobility in developments and upgrades to existing buildings, facilitates an access committee to address barrier to access and mobility in Council and the community, and works to assist local businesses in complying with Disability Discrimination Act legislation. Council views these provisions as a response to basic and fundamental human rights and social justice.
