Disability Inclusion Action Plan 2026-2030 to go on public exhibition

The committee recommended endorsing the draft Disability Inclusion Action Plan 2026-2030 for public exhibition for at least 28 days, with a further report to come back after exhibition before final endorsement and submission to the NSW Department of Communities and Justice by 30 June 2026.

Residents, especially people with disability, carers and community groups, will have a chance to review and comment on the draft plan before it is finalised.

Council sponsorship approved for Autism Community Network Gala Dinner

The committee recommended approval of $7,500 in outgoing sponsorship for Council to become a Silver Sponsor of the Autism Community Network Gala Dinner on Friday 1 May 2026.

This commits council funding to support a community event connected to autism awareness and inclusion.

Indoor Multisport Stadium feasibility work progressed

The committee recommended noting the existing $120,000 allocation in the 2025/26 budget for an Indoor Multisport Stadium feasibility study, jointly funded with Basketball NSW, and endorsed Stage 1 Strategic Business Case with additional funding to be reallocated from existing operational projects.

This advances planning for a potential indoor sports facility that could affect future recreation infrastructure and budget priorities.
