Toowoomba Regional Council is seeking nominations to fill 12 positions on its Regional Access and Disability Advisory committee.
Committee chair Cr Sue Englart said nominations were open until February 13.
She said people from across the region were welcome to apply to inform Council about specific access and disability issues.
“I encourage people who want the chance to articulate problems and solve issues to nominate for the committee positions,” Cr Englart said.
“It is important for Council to listen to ideas and recommendations from people in the disability sector and from other community groups who often feel isolated or marginalised.
“Apart from physical barriers, we need to be mindful of social and cultural issues that affect how people interact with others.
“I also see the committee as a vehicle for promoting a better understanding of these issues to the wider community.
“It would be wonderful to see people from any social or cultural group offered a chance to be more readily accepted in mainstream society.”
Meetings are held on the second Monday of the month, with the exception of public holidays.
- Nomination letters can be emailed or posted to PO Box 3021, Toowoomba, 4350.
