Diversity and Inclusion Reference Group
Following an expression of interest in February 2025, Council has launched its newly formed Diversity and Inclusion Reference Group. This initiative is a key component of Council's Access and Inclusion Strategy 2020-2026, which underscores Council’s commitment to fostering equal participation and inclusion for all community members.
The group includes members of all of Campaspe’s nine Communities of Priority representing
- People with disability
- Young people
- People with mental illness
- Women
- Older people
- People with social disadvantage
- First Nations people
- Culturally diverse communities
- LGBTQIA+ people
The role of the group is to meet quarterly to provide their perspectives to Council based on their lived experience.
Changing Places Facility
Echuca has a modern changing places facility available for use, located in the High Street carpark.
The facility is more than an accessible toilet and has been built to a set of guidelines and specifications which ensures it has all the necessary features to comfortably change an adult. This includes enough space for two carers, height adjustable change tables, a tracking hoist system, shower and toilet, in a safe and clean environment.
