General Statement:

Overall the following standards must be complied with to minimize the risk of complaint
under State and Federal Disability Discrimination Law:

Australian Standard AS1428.2-1992 — Design for access and mobility. Part 2: Enhanced
and additional requirements — Buildings and facilities

Australian Standard AS1428.4-2002 — Design for access and mobility. Part 4: Tactile
Indicators

Australian Standard AS1428.1-2001 — Design for access and mobility. Part 1: General
requirement for access — New building work

Generally, an acceptable minimum standard would be as follows:

Public and visitable spaces: AS1428.2-1992 and AS1428.4-2002
Staff Areas (non maintenance): AS1428.1-2001

The following review points to specific design issues which are relevant to the current
designs and need to be addressed as the design develops:

Item Design Issue

6.1.1 Luminance Contrast — Glazing Lines/Pedestrian Surfaces.

 

Where glazing intersects with pedestrian surfaces along accessways and
shorelines, a minimum 30% luminance contrast must be achieved at this
intersection.

 

6.1.2 Luminance Contrast — Glazing.

Where glass walls exist along shorelines, and/or where glass doors are
included in the design, where no midrail exists a contrasting (min 30%
luminance contrast with surface viewed against at 45°) band of colour
must be placed on both sides of the glazing in accordance with AS1428.1-
2001 Clause 7.5. Where a mid rail is provided it must be located between
900mm and 1000mm above the FFL and provide a minimum luminance
contrast of 30% with the surface it is viewed against at 45°

6.1.3 Luminance Contrast — Wayfinding Shorelines.

 

A minimum 30% luminance contrast must be achieved where shoreline
features intersect with pathways, accessways and continuous accessible
paths of travel.

 

6.1.4 Luminance Contrast — Tactile Ground Surface Indicators.
