Universal access is a right to be afforded all people. Council is committed to improving access and inclusion for people with a disability living, working, and recreating on the Northern Beaches.

Our parks, reserves and beaches are becoming more easily accessible for people with impaired or reduced mobility, such as people using walking aids, wheelchair, scooter and pram users, and people with visual impairment. From Manly to Palm Beach accessible facilities from footpaths to playgrounds to community centres are getting better and better.
