Access to Premises – Standards

May 1st, the new Disability (Access to Premises – Buildings) Standards 2010 come into effect.

This means a significant change and upgrade in the way architects, surveyors and certifiers need to deal with, and respond to, the challenges and opportunities of accessibility issues.
In conjuction with the new standards the NCC has been issued (formerly the BCA) unifying the requirements within the construction code to those of the Disability (Access to Premises – Buildings) Standards 2010 so that by following the NCC (BCA) all accessibility requirements will be met.

The Australian Standards AS1428.1-5 are still effective and should be referred to .

All in all there is much work to be done but this new legislation will surely make life easier, and more accessible, for all of us.
