             Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission “Advisory Notes on Access to Premises” and
             AS1428.2;
      5.2    Applicants should be aware that a “Disability Standard on Access to Premises is being
             developed and most likely will result in changes to the Building Code of Australia;
      5.3    Any services and facilities in the building complex must allow independent, dignified and
             equitable use of the services and facilities for all people.
6.    This proposal has not been assessed in relation to the spread of fire between properties /
      buildings. It is the building certifiers responsibility to assess the requirements for fire services,
      fire separation and appropriate methods of construction as part of the building works approval
      process. Referral to the Queensland Fire and Rescue Service (QFRS) may be required as
      part of the Building Approval process.
