Important Announcement: Cancellation of Australia Day 2025 Event   The City of Armadale has made the difficult but necessary decision to cancel the Australia Day 2025 event and fireworks. This decision comes in light of the Metronet Byford Rail Extension works, which will significantly impact the areas around Minnawarra Park and Armadale Road in January 2025, making it unsafe for large public gatherings.   Our team explored various alternative locations and event formats, but after thorough consideration, the Council concluded that cancelling the 2025 event is the best option to ensure the safety and integrity of our celebrations. We plan to utilise the funds reserved for 2025 to host an even bigger and better event in 2026, welcoming everyone back to the City Centre.   Mayor Ruth Butterfield stated, "The City recognises the continuing popularity of our Australia Day Event, and we want to ensure this annual feature is the best that we can offer. The unavoidable works around Minnawarra Park meant we had to look at alternative arrangements, and as a Council, we decided that cancelling the 2025 event was the best option under the circumstances. We look forward to welcoming everyone back in 2026."   We understand this news may be disappointing, and we appreciate your understanding and support. For more details on this decision and the proposed alternatives, please refer to the Council minutes available on our website at https://buff.ly/3Xw853R.   #CityOfArmadale #AustraliaDay2025 #CommunityUpdate #MetronetWorks #PublicSafety

In July, I made this post after noticing a delightful pattern in the social media posts from the Democratic Party. https://lnkd.in/dyNwVqkZ Later on, I eventually found out about the wonderful Robin Jones and all the work that had gone into making the Democratic National Convention (DNC) what some have called the most accessible convention in the nation's history. I think there's a lot to be learned from their comprehensive approach to accessibility considering the many touch points of all attendees and making provisions for them. So for anyone running a physical event -- whether religious, for entertainment, or whatever -- here's 7 things you can learn and adapt to make your next event more accessible. ---- Image ID: a DIAL Design branded infographic showing 7 examples of accessibility provisions made by the Democratic party during the DNC 1. Live audio descriptions including in Spanish. 2. Livestream with American sign language and live captions. 3. Sensory kits which had things like noise cancelling headphones were provided for those with sensory sensitivities. 4. For the first time in the convention's history a temporary ramp was provided to grant delegates in wheelchair access to the convention floor so they could be seated with their colleagues. 5. Wheelchair repair stations were installed at the Chicago airports and permanently remain even after the conclusion of the convention. 6. There were wheelchair accessible buses as well as temporary scooters for those who couldn't walk for too long. 7. Personalized support was provided for those who needed it right from the airport to assist with their specific needs. #Accessibility #DisabilityInclusion #DNC #EventAccessibility #Inclusion #ADA
