The City of Playford is proud to present our Disability Access and Inclusion Plan (DAIP) 2025 - 2029 formally endorsed.

This plan continues our commitment to making Playford a place where everyone can participate, feel welcome and be included.

Our community played a central role in shaping this plan. Through our community engagement activities, we heard from people with disability, families, carers and the broader community about what access and inclusion should look like in Playford . Your ideas and experiences guided the the final plan.

The DAIP is our roadmap for strengthening access and inclusion across council services, spaces and decision-making. It is required under the South Australian Disability Inclusion Act 2018 and aligns with the new State Disability Inclusion Plan 2025–2029 which aims to build “a more inclusive South Australia” across five key Domains:

• Inclusive environments and communities
• Education and employment
• Personal and community support
• Health and wellbeing
• Safety, rights and justice
  

These Domains helped us ensure our actions support meaningful, long-term change for people with disability in Playford.

Our DAIP is a shared commitment to improving access, removing barriers and creating more inclusive services, spaces and opportunities across our city. It outlines how Council will support people with disability in our services and programs, community life, employment and decision‑making.

Most importantly, this plan reflects the voices and lived experiences of our community, and the direction you told us matters most.

Thank you to everyone who contributed through conversations, surveys and workshops. Your insight ensured the DAIP is grounded in real experiences and focused on what will make the biggest difference.

Together, we’re building a more inclusive Playford, now and into the future.
