There are a number of ways the Northern Beaches is becoming more accessible and inclusive than ever. Being inclusive is all about adapting the way that products and services are provided to suit the needs of the whole community.

Disability Inclusion Award

As part of the Northern Beaches Local Business Awards, Northern Beaches Council is sponsoring the Disability Inclusion Award. One in 5 Australians has some kind of disability, so making your business accessible and inclusive is good for business and for the community. Other customers that benefit from improved access include older people, families with young children, and local and overseas visitors with disability.

Anyone can nominate a business for the Disability Inclusion Award, including customers, community members, businesses owners and staff. Self-nominations are also welcome.

Award presentation

Winners will be announced at the Gala presentation 2025 Northern Beaches Local Business Awards Evening at Dee Why RSL on Wednesday 11 June.

Northern Beaches Council reserves the right to withdraw an award if further information or the recipient's conduct draws the awards into disrepute.
