This Plan will guide Council in the development of an inclusive community in the Queanbeyan – Palerang Region. An inclusive community draws together people with a broad range of skills, interests and perspectives and as a community we benefit from this diversity. Exclusion can lead to disadvantage and discrimination, affecting the health and wellbeing of individuals, families and the wider community. This Plan presents an opportunity for Council and the community to work together to identify and remove barriers to people with disabilities participating fully in community life. Council’s role in developing an inclusive community is one of leadership through the provision of inclusive services and facilities, and in doing so promote interaction between community members. Interaction provides opportunities to learn about the skills and assets held by people with disabilities and the contributions that they make to our community. This Plan draws from the NSW Disability Inclusion Action Planning Guidelines (2015) in which people with disabilities across New South Wales nominated four key areas of focus when developing inclusive communities. The Plan aims to improve: attitudes and behaviours towards people with disabilities; the liveability of the Community; access to employment; and the navigation of the systems, process and information provided by Council (and other services). I support Council’s leadership in the development of an inclusive community in the Queanbeyan- Palerang Region that is welcoming of people with disabilities and values their participation in and contribution to our community.

Disability Inclusion Action Plan 2017-2021 Introduction Background In 2008 Australia ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. This was followed in 2010 by the development of the Australian National Disability Strategy, a ten year plan for improving the lives of Australians with disability, their families and carers. The NSW Disability Inclusion Plan was completed in 2015. The State plan works alongside the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). The key objectives for the State plan include: Development of positive community attitudes and behaviours towards people with disabilities; The creation of more liveable communities for people with disabilities; A higher rate of meaningful employment participation by people with disabilities through inclusive employment practices; and More equitable access to mainstream services for people with disabilities through better systems and processes. The NSW Disability Inclusion Act (2014) encourages planning and coordination across state and local government to identify and reduce barriers that prevent people with disabilities from participating fully in their community. The Act supports people with disabilities to have: The same human rights as other members of the community and states that governments and communities have a responsibility to facilitate the exercise of those rights; Independence and social and economic inclusion within the community; and Choice and control in the pursuit of their goals and the planning and delivery of their supports and services. The Act mandates that councils must prepare a Disability Inclusion Action Plan by 1 July 2017. 6 Disability Inclusion Action Plan 2017-2021 Disability defined The United Nations Convention on the Rights

  • Course Description – Marathon
    KTR Winter Trails Marathon Course Description: Starting at the Wamboin Community Hall, you will run 2.2 km to the very end of Bingley Way and then back before turning left onto a dirt road leading up into the Native Forest. • Bingley Way is not a busy road and will not be closed to traffic for the race so please ensure you obey all road rules while running this stretch, including moving off the bitumen if a car approaches. • Runners will be required to run on the right-hand side of the road – so that they can easily see any oncoming traffic. After 0.5 km the dirt road takes a hard left turn, you will instead continue ahead up a single track. • The transition from the dirt road to the single track is particularly technical with many large and small rocks on the road’s edge. You will need to exercise caution while leaving the road. You will now run 0.8 km of single track through pristine native forest before arriving at a horse trail entrance to Kowen Forest. You will find a manned water station at this spot. • The single track is moderately technical, the major issue being the effect of dappled light masking rocks and stones on the trail. • Caution is advised on the horse trail entry gate as the poles my still be frost-covered and slippery. • A volunteer at the manned water stations will be noting down bib numbers. From the water station you will follow the fence-line for 3.2 km - on forestry trail - until you arrive at the intersection with Seven Mile Rd.
