The Local Government Management Agency is committed to making its websites accessible in accordance with European Union (Accessibility of Websites and Mobile Applications of Public Sector Bodies) Regulations 2020

This statement applies to content published on the ePlanning website only.

Compliance Status - SAMPLE TEXT

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 level AA, due to the non-compliances listed below.

Non-accessible content - SAMPLE TEXT

  • Skip Links: Not currently included (Web Content Accessibility Guideline 2.4.1)
  • Headings: To facilitate navigation and understanding, pages should use heading elements that follow a logical order (e.g., h1, h2, h3 etc.) or not skip heading levels. This allows assistive technologies to identify the page heading, any section headings and subsections. Headings in some instances do not currently follow this convention (Web Content Accessibility Guideline 1.3.1)

Areas for improvement - SAMPLE TEXT

  • We will continue to seek a solution enabling heading elements to comply with assistive technologies.
  • We will continue to review and seek improved accessibility on the website.
