This report makes recommendations about the planning of New Osbaldwick in order to meet their needs. It argues that, taking an inclusive approach to all impairments, and using prevalence rates within the general population, assumptions can be made about the numbers of wheelchair users, people with learning difficulties and mental health problems and so on. This has implications for all aspects of life in New Osbaldwick – including buildings, information and community facilities.

The article examines disability and access issues surrounding the Sydney 2000 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Central to this is an examination of the involvement of the Australian community of people with disabilities [1] within the Games. The Sydney Paralympic Games, in particular, was seen as a possible watershed event for developing accessible infrastructure, and raising awareness of disability and access issues. This paper draws on the official documents of the Games, newspaper accounts and disability organisation reports. The article first examines the major bodies charged with organising the Games, and the planning processes used to incorporate disability and access issues. It then examines a range of critical issues and their relationships with the disability community. Finally, the article provides an analysis of any likely legacies that the 2000 Games may have for Sydney's community of people with disabilities.
