Australian Disabled Access Consultants recently helped Filmer Architects of Haberfield NSW to arrange development application approval for the single-storey The Ella Centre Dementia Day Care Centre. The day care centre contains:
- Meeting rooms
- 3 Living rooms
- General office
- Staff room
- Resource room
- Kitchen
- 2 Bathrooms
- Internal accessible toilet
- External accessible toilet
- Staff parking – 2 spaces at the front of the site
- Covered loading bay/drop off area beside the front entry doorway
- Workshop at the rear of the loading bay/drop-off area
- Ramped pathway from the street frontage to the front entry doorway, separated from the driveway
- Front terrace and rear veranda; and
- Landscaped rear yard with walkway path
The Ella Centre Dimentia Day Care Centre’s design by Filmer Architects required disabled access to comply with Ashfield Council’s Accessibility Development Control Plan 2007 and Australian Standards AS1428.1–2001 (Design for Access and Mobility) and AS2890.1–1993 (Parking Facilities) guidelines.
The disabled access design negotiations and disabled access assessment report for The Ella Centre Dimentia Day Care Centre provided by Australian Disabled Access Consultants ensured compliance with:
- The guiding principles of the Disabilities Discrimination Act
- Ashfield Council’s Accessibility Development Control Plan 2007 disabled access and wheelchair access design guidelines; and
- Australian Standards AS1428.1 and AS2890.1 disabled access and wheelchair access design guidelines
