From 1 July 2026, Council has activated a major accessibility upgrade on its website with the introduction of the UserWay Accessibility Widget, a tool designed to make online information easier to access for all community members.
The UserWay feature provides a suite of customisable accessibility options, including adjustable text size, colour contrast controls, screen‑reader support, keyboard navigation enhancements, and dyslexia‑friendly settings. These tools help ensure that residents of all abilities can more easily engage with Council services, information, and digital resources.
Council CEO said the upgrade reflects Council’s ongoing commitment to building an inclusive and accessible community.
“Every resident deserves equal access to information. Adding UserWay to our website is a practical step that strengthens digital inclusion and supports people with diverse needs.”
The accessibility widget is now live on all Council webpages and can be activated via the accessibility icon located in the bottom corner of the site.
Council will continue to review and expand its digital accessibility initiatives to ensure the website remains compliant with evolving accessibility standards and best practice.
