The Regional Accessibility Forum considers 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.

Forum members have worked on an accessibility checklist for businesses. The resulting brochure was produced with support from Nelson City Council and Tasman District Council.
The Forum, with help from CCS Disability Action, successfully sought funding to purchase accessible beach chairs. These can be loaned out from CCS Disability Action in Nelson.
