Moira Shire Council’s All Abilities Access and Inclusion Plan 2023-2026 outlines Council’s commitment to promoting a more inclusive and accessible community. The Plan outlines the priorities of Council to improve access to the built environment, social connections and communication processes.

Moira Shire will be a better community for its residents and visitors, increasing the economic, social and tourism potential for all.

Moira Shire communities recognise that a creative community concept is inclusive of all arts forms, and also has a broader reach to include architects, town planners, landscapers, engineers, performers, artists and musicians, all those who are creative. 

Moira Shire Council also recognises the role the arts play in developing social wellbeing across all age levels and abilities and its essential role in promoting community resilience and recovery in times of crisis.

This strategy has been developed using surveys, cultural mapping, community engagement and consultation. We have relied on research conducted at state and federal levels to inform our goals, and to capitalise on funding opportunities as they arise.

Councils Domestic Animal Management (DAM) Plan 2021-2025 was prepared in accordance with the Domestic Animals Act 1994. The plan creates the framework for the planning, development and evaluation of Councils animal management services and summarises the professional, consistent and proactive approach undertaken within the municipality.

This DAM Plan has been developed in four stages. The first stage involved a review of Council’s current DAM Plan, policies, procedures and strategies in order to identify gaps and prioritise future actions. The review included conducting a survey within the local community, which encouraged them to have their say on domestic animal management issues. 

Endorsed by Council 27 October 2021.
