The Pathways for Carers project supports carers of people with a disability or mental illness. Participants have the opportunity to take walks together and share resources such as news, services and support.  Learn more at Pathways for carers on Facebook.

The Disability Advisory Committee provides advice to Council on access and inclusion.

This helps Council to design and deliver services and infrastructure in a way that supports our objective of an active, engaged and involved community.

The Committee includes people living with a disability, representatives from local disability services, unpaid carers of a person with a disability, Council staff and Councillors.

Meetings are held every second month.
