AS 1428.1:2021 specifies the design requirements that architects and developers must follow to ensure new buildings and facilities are accessible for people with disabilities. The Standard provides guidance for how doors, passageways, ramps, slopes, bathrooms, seating, lighting, and floor spaces should be designed to create public and private spaces that can be accessed and used by everyone.
AS 1428.1:2021 aligns with the National Construction Code (NCC) and Disability Discrimination Act (DDA). This ensures all new builds and renovations accommodate people with varying mobility levels, including those in wheelchairs.
Purchasing the AS 1428.1:2021 Standard will give you all the tools needed to create equitable, compliant, and sustainable environments. More specifically, it provides vital guidance on elements such as grab rails, handrails, and signage, so buildings are inclusive, accessible, and equipped properly.
The AS 1428.1:2021 Standard also promotes:
- Legal compliance: The Standard helps architects, developers and builders meet NNC and DDA regulations, reducing the risk of costly claims and legal penalties.
- Social inclusion: The Standard promotes fully inclusive design work; allowing all community members to use and enjoy spaces without issues
- Future-proof design: The Standard sets out universal design principles, which are adaptable to the changing needs of communities.
- Increased property value: The Standard helps property owners and developers design better homes and spaces; enhancing their appeal and increasing their value
- Better public image: The Standard demonstrates that you are considerate of the needs of society. This inclusivity will enhance your brand reputation.
