"Council has a commitment towards ensuring our community is a great place to live, work and visit for people with disability, their friends, families and carers. Celebrating International Day of People with Disability supports our diverse community and is a key part of our Living Well Latrobe and our Disability Access and Inclusion Plans."
"The day also provides an opportunity to recognise and thank the Disability Access and Inclusion Community Engagement Group for their contribution.
