Episode 11: Tourism, Access and City Planning with Access Bondi

Send us a text

Now that Summer is upon us in the Southern Hemisphere, Mike Cerrone, Project Officer for Waverley Council's Access Bondi! talks to Susan about why it's important for tourist destinations to be accessible for all people of all abilities.

Bondi Beach is a popular tourist destination on the east coast of Australia that brings in millions of visitors every year. We talk about how decent and suitable access can change society's perceptions on inclusion, give people freedom of choice when they go out and how your input can help encourage local councils to make accessibility a priority.
