Why develop the We All Belong Strategy for an inclusive Mornington Peninsula community?
We All Belong will replace several existing and planned strategies and plans (except for our Reconciliation Action Plan, Universal Design Policy and Gender Equality Strategy) and bring all actions for key life stages and priority population groups under one document.
By combining all these plans under the ‘one roof’, we can approach our planning and service delivery more comprehensively. For instance, instead of working across various separate strategies, we can align our efforts (where it makes sense to do so) to achieve better outcomes for our communities.
This integrated approach recognises that people have many sides to their identity, such as ethnicity, gender, age, religion, and more. These aspects can sometimes result in overlapping forms of discrimination and marginalisation, known as intersectionality.
We All Belong will help us to meet and deliver on our various State and Federal legislative requirements, including the Disability Act 2006, Age Discrimination Act 2004, Equal Opportunity Act 2010, and Racial Discrimination Act 1975 – just to name a few.
The Shire promises to
- Work with our diverse community leaders and partners to ensure we capture the voices of our priority populations
- Encourage participation by sharing accurate, timely and plain language information
- Listen to what people say and record all feedback
- Report back on what we heard
- Let our community know how their feedback has influenced the project
