Accessibility and inclusion for people of all abilities

The City of Karratha is committed to ensuring that our community is an accessible and inclusive community for people with a disability, their families and carers.

The City of Karratha is committed to consulting with residents living with disability, their families and carers and where required, organisations within the disability service provision industry to ensure that barriers to access and inclusion are addressed appropriately.  

The City of Karratha interprets an accessible and inclusive community as one in which all council functions, facilities and services (both in-house and contracted) are open, available and accessible to people with a disability, providing them with the same opportunities, rights and responsibilities enjoyed by all other people in the community.
