Dear {{businessName}},

Welcome to the City of Armadale’s Economic Development newsletter, sharing opportunities, insights and resources to support local businesses.


The Thank You Campaign 

In March, APM Communities, in partnership with the City of Armadale and local volunteers, visited a range of businesses to promote awareness of disability inclusion and accessibility. 

During the visits, community members with lived experience of disability provided positive feedback to businesses, acknowledging the accessible and inclusive practices already in place. Each business also received a Business Accessibility Toolkit and a Thank You flyer to support further improvements in accessibility. Across the three days, 38 businesses were engaged.
