Access and inclusion

The City of Stirling is committed to creating a diverse, inclusive, accessible and engaged community through our services and facilities.

Access and Inclusion planning

The City of Stirling is proud to be a community that celebrates diversity and values inclusion. We believe that every person, regardless of age, ability, or background, should have the opportunity to participate fully and contribute meaningfully to community life. The City facilitates meaningful inclusion through its Disability Access and Inclusion Plan.

The City's Access and Inclusion Plan (AIP) 2021-2025 demonstrates its commitment to building an inclusive and diverse community where people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds can participate and contribute.

In 2025, the City commenced its review of its Access and Inclusion Plan 2021-2025. This included the Everyone Belongs campaign, which ran from 10 February to 20 March 2025 and gathered community stories about belonging across Stirling. The Everyone Belongs engagement report is now available, and it includes key findings from the access and inclusion engagement activities.

Alongside this, the City's Social Impact and Policy team ran a dedicated Access and Inclusion Plan engagement project, giving people with disability and community members opportunities to share their priorities for each outcome area of the new plan.

The feedback gathered through these activities is being used to develop the City's AIP, which we expect to release in mid 2026.
