The Accessibility Reference Group works with Council to ensure Benalla is inclusive for people of all abilities. Together, we aim to create a community where everyone can participate fully in daily life.

Through our Community Access and Inclusion Plan, we identify and address barriers to accessibility while fostering positive attitudes and practices. Learn more about the Accessibility Reference Group and download resources such as terms of reference.

Access & Inclusion

The Benalla Rural City Council recognises that people with disabilities make significant and important contributions to our community.

We aim to ensure that services, facilities, practices and planning strategies are inclusive and accessible to all.

 Mobility Map

Accessible travel around Benalla has been aided by the recent launch of a Benalla City Centre Mobility Map. The Mobility Map shows the location of community facilities within the central business district, including accessible toilets and parking, baby change tables, scooter recharge points and public seating.

Reducing Racism – Community Reporting Tool

We believe that it is important to speak out to challenge and confront bigotry, discrimination and racism whenever and wherever it surfaces. The Community Reporting Tool, now available on our website, is one way in which you can report any incidence of racism or discrimination.

The Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission is managing the Community Reporting Tool. The Commission is an independent statutory body that you can lodge a complaint with if you are confronted with bigotry, discrimination and/or racism.

If you want to report racism or discrimination of any kind that you have experienced, but you do not want to make a formal complaint, we encourage you to use the Community Reporting Tool.  

You do not have give your name but, if you want to, you can ask for someone at the Commission to contact you and try to help you.

The Commission will not share your details with anyone else. They will keep your information private.
