CARNIVALE weekend will see the launch of a ramp that will allow people with disabilities to access Four Mile Beach.

Douglas Shire mayor Julia Leu will unveil the $140,000 project at the Port Douglas Carnivale Family Beach Day on Saturday.

The ramp is located at the southern access near the Port Douglas Surf Lifesaving Club on Four Mile Beach.

Leu said that Council is firmly committed to supporting the needs of residents and visitors with a disability.

“Douglas Shire has so many picturesque locations and it is absolutely crucial we enable all people to live and breathes these unique experiences.

“Carnivale is also a fitting time to introduce this vital infrastructure to the community,” she said.

Douglas Shire Council has an Access Douglas Directory on its website to assist those with disabilities and mobility issues. Elderly residents can find services and businesses to best meet their accessibility needs.
