Location of Disability Parking Bays Brochure for the Wimmera

Wimmera Transport Connections has updated a pamphlet that outlines the location of disability parking bays for disabled persons in the Wimmera. The pamphlet has the location of the disabled parking bays for the major towns in the shires of Hindmarsh, West Wimmera and Yarriambiack as well Horsham Rural City Council.

Wimmera Transport Connections coordinator Bill Lovel said the pamphlet is a great resource for a disabled person allowing them to plan their journey or trip throughout the Wimmera or within their own town, there is in excess of 100 disabled parking spaces available in the region. The pamphlets have been distributed to all of the municipal offices and other agencies all through the Wimmera.

Mr Lovel said it not only provides the street location of the bays but also gives basic information on what the Victorian Disabled Persons Parking Scheme is about, what the eligibility criteria is for the permit and where and how to apply for the permit. The permit is applicable throughout Victoria and is valid for three years. Application forms for the scheme are available at each of the municipal offices.

Any persons wanting a pamphlet can contact their local municipality or Wimmera Volunteers.
