Access and Inclusion Advisory Group
Expressions of Interest open
The Town of Victoria Park is seeking Expressions of Interest (EOIs) for membership to the Access and Inclusion Advisory Group.
What is the Access and Inclusion Advisory Group?
The purpose of the Access and Inclusion Advisory Group is to provide strategic advice to Council on:
- The implementation of the Town’s Access and Inclusion Plan (AIP);
- Continual improvement as an accessible and inclusive community;
- Specific items referred to the group by Town administration, including but not limited to development applications, plans for special events, identified Town initiated projects or programs, and proposals for works on Town managed property.
Membership and involvement
The membership term is usually two years and would be until October 2026.
The group meets once every quarter (typically 4.30 - 6.30pm) and involvement will include:
- reviewing information and material to inform discussions at meetings
- making recommendations related to the implementation of the Town’s Access and Inclusion Action Plan.
