​​​​​​​Informative

The National Construction Code (NCC) and Disability (Access to Premises – Buildings) Standards (Premises Standards) provide information on which classes of buildings are to be made accessible and prescribe the specific areas within those buildings where access must be provided.

The NCC, BCA Volume 1, and the Premises Standards refer to AS1428.1 and other documents as a means of compliance with the deemed-to-satisfy access provision of the NCC and Premises Standards.

The purpose of this guideline is to outline the common issues DDA consultants are identifying on the projects.

The Australian Standard for Design for access and mobility (AS1428) is very prescriptive and has tight tolerances.
