Access Requirements for Public Buildings, Employment and Education Uses
New buildings open to the public or used for employment or education must be designed to provide suitable access for all. A level approach from site boundary to building entrance is presumed necessary unless steps, ramps or mechanical aids are demonstrated to be required.
The development of a new building open to the public, or to be used for employment or education purposes, will only be permitted where it is designed to provide suitable access for all, whether as customers, visitors or employees. In such cases the Department will operate a presumption in favour of a level approach from the boundary of the site to the building entrance and the use of steps, ramps or mechanical aids will only be permitted where it is demonstrated that these are necessary.
