What an Access Consultant can do for you at the Development Application stage?

Accessibility Consulting, a.k.a Universal Design Consulting is a filed of consultancy specialising in code compliance specific to the building and construction industry. We as an Access Consultant would provide advice inline with Federal and Commonwealth legislation to ensure the provision of an inclusive built environment for people of all abilities, including people with a disability. 

We can assist building owners, developers and architects to achieve Development Approval by providing assessment services in the form of an Access Report outlining the compliance status of the development. The assessment is based on the current code and relevant standards applicable at the time of the development lodgement. The assessment process will assist the planning authority in evaluating the Approval in a more positive outcome.

Depending on the State or town center that the development may be located, an Access Report  is often a mandatory requirement under the Planning Code in every State and Territory.

Please get in touch with our consultants and we should be able to confirm the DA submission requirements in your specific region.
