Explore and celebrate inclusion this Disability Action Week

Play wheelchair basketball, visit a pop-up art gallery or cruise along the Mooloolaba canals on an all-accessible boat, in celebration of Disability Action Week.

Get involved in a variety of events during Disability Action Week 2024 from 24 November to 1 December.

This year’s theme is ‘Accessible Communication: connect, include and empower’ and Sunshine Coast Council, in partnership with our community, has developed a comprehensive calendar of events celebrating this important week.

Strong Community Portfolio Councillor Taylor Bunnag said the free family FUNctional Market Day on 30 November at the Millwell Road Community Centre in Maroochydore was a calendar highlight.

“Our community is invited to celebrate the creativity of people with disabilities,” Cr Bunnag said.

“From 10am to 3pm join us for live entertainment in the garden and take the opportunity to do some gift shopping from the many stalls.

“As a Council we want to help create a more inclusive region where everyone can participate equally, contribute fully and feel respected and valued, and Disability Action Week helps us celebrate everyone in our community.

“Be sure to visit Council’s website to see all the activities available during the week – from enjoying the freedom of the river sailing in Mooloolaba to trying chair yoga or aqua aerobics.”
