The Shire of Coolgardie believes that people with disabilities, their families and carers who live in country areas should be supported to remain in the community of their choice.

The Shire of Coolgardie is committed to consulting with people with disabilities, their families and carers and where required, disability organisations to ensure that barriers to access are addressed appropriately.
