Accessibility statement
Campbelltown City Council's website is built to provide access for a widening variety of newer technologies and web browsers, including assistive technologies for the Internet. For the majority of our visitors, our site is now easier to use, quicker to access, and more streamlined for updates and modifications.
We are continuing to improve the site to comply with web standards outlined by the World Wide Web Consortium and the Australian Government's Digital Transformation Agency
Our site now uses Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and XHTML for most page layout and design details.
The change to CSS-driven layout and formatting makes this site more accessible to most web browsers and specialized browsing environments used by the visually or physically impaired. By removing most font, color and margin rules from the markup, and listing our style rules in CSS files that are cached (saved on to your computer) when a visitor arrives at our site our pages appear more quickly and consistently on web browsing devices, and future design changes can be applied to our site's pages quickly.
Visitors who continue to use older browsers will see a much simpler presentation, one that offers the full content in a stripped-down design. We recognize that imperfections are bound to appear, even though we've done our best to ensure our site renders as consistently as possible.
PDF Accessibility
A number of documents on Campbelltown City Council's website are only available in Portable Document Format (PDF). Campbelltown City Council's website attempts to only list materials that are available in HTML or other equally accessible formats, sometimes resources are identified that can only be provided efficiently in PDF format and are too important to ignore. In these cases where a resource is only available in PDF, a link will be provided identifying resources that aid in accessing PDF files.
There is ongoing research and development on PDF file accessibility. Periodically we will re-evaluate the efficacy of including PDF documents and your feedback on the ease of accessing these documents will be an important factor, as will any new product enhancements or research results, in our decision regarding the inclusion of PDF documents.
