The 2022 to 2026 All Abilities Action Plan is now open for consultation and will dictate what changes in terms of accessibility will be on council's agenda for the next five years.
Wagga's Mark Horton, among others, had raised concerns around inaccessible footpaths and a lack of disability parking in the city's centre of business.
Wagga City Council social planning coordinator Sarah Lehman said it is this feedback they would like to gather through community consultation which is now underway.
"We want to have that broad feedback from the community, we need to have it to drive the plan and we want to make sure we actually have everything we need to make sure we are hitting the target," Ms Lehman said.
"The opportunity is now."
