The City of Fremantle encourages diversity and is committed to creating an accessible, inclusive and welcoming community for people of all ages and abilities.

We are committed to making continual improvements to ensure that buildings, facilities, services, events, information and employment opportunities are available to all community members – including people with disability.

Help us review our Access and Inclusion Plan - Currently on hold due to COVID-19. 

We're seeking community input on our Access and Inclusion Plan. 

If you or someone you know faces any barriers accessing buildings, events, information or facilities in the City of Fremantle, we’d like to hear from you.

We’d also like to find out about your experiences making meaningful social connections and participating in Fremantle community life.

Visit My Say Freo to have your say by 5pm 18 March 2020 or have your say in person at our free community workshops on 12 March between 9am-12:30pm and 1-4pm.
