Disability & Access

Encouraging all people to participate in the economic and social life of the community by promoting equal access to all services, facilities and resources within the Tenterfield Shire.

Tenterfield Shire Council is committed to ensure that local services, facilities and programs provided by Council are inclusive to members of the community. Council supports the rights of people with disability in our community to have equal access to opportunities, services and facilities and choice over how to live their lives as all residents do. 

The Disability Inclusion Action Plan (downloadable version below) was developed as part of the Integrated Planning and Reporting framework, Tenterfield Shire Council strives to ensure the broad range of services and facilities that Council delivers throughout the Shire is accessible to the whole community including people with a disability.
