About the forum

Accessibility for all is a forum that examines the accessibility for everyone in the Tasman region, aiming to ensure that both public and private facilities and activities are inclusive.

It’s a joint venture project between Tasman District and Nelson City Councils, with the support of many community organisations. Its mission is to break down barriers.

This is where practical solutions to accessibility barriers in consultation with Council projects are developed and discussed. Your voice matters and your insights are valued. You’re invited to join in shaping the accessibility landscape across the region. Share your experiences, challenges and suggestions, and help create a truly inclusive environment.
