What are the requirements of the State Disability Inclusion Act?
The Disability Inclusion Act 2018 was passed by the South Australian Parliament in June 2018. According to the Act, Councils must prepare a Disability Access and Inclusion Plan in consultation with the community, it must be reported on annually and must be
reviewed at least once in each 4-year period.
