Accessible paths at The Gap and Natural Bridge in Torndirrup National Park near Albany
The number of accessible sites on DBCA-managed lands and waters is increasing every year, and more people than ever are experiencing the benefits of our natural areas. You can read about the ways in which the department will ensure that the one in five Western Australians who have a disability have access to its facilities and services in the Access for All booklet; a collection of articles from LANDSCOPE magazine.
Disability Access and Inclusion Plan
DBCA adopted its first Disability Services Plan in 1995 to address the barriers for people with disability wanting to access the department’s services and facilities. Over the years the agency has achieved some significant accessibility improvements such as the award-winning Maidens Reserve project in Kalgulup Regional Park, the Kalbarri Skywalk in Kalbarri National Park, and the Access for More track, which is a part of the Cape to Cape Track in the Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park.
The Disability Access and Inclusion Plan 2026-30 (DAIP) reflects the combined efforts of the Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority, Rottnest Island Authority, Zoological Parks Authority and the Parks and Wildlife Service. Together we continue to strengthen DBCA's commitment to ensuring that people with disability, their families and carers have access to our parks, attractions, facilities, programs, workplaces, information and services.
You can download a copy of the DBCA DAIP 2026-2030 below.
The plan is available in alternative formats on request by emailing enquiries@dbca.wa.gov.au.
