Accessible and inclusive design

What is accessible and inclusive design?

Accessible and inclusive design considers the needs of people with disabilities and mobility challenges.

As well as our obligations under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992, we aim to provide facilities, services and programs that include and promote participation by people with all abilities in our City.

How does the Logan Planning Scheme 2015 promote accessible and inclusive design?

The Logan Planning Scheme 2015 requires that building work and operational work be designed and undertaken in line with Australian Standards and the National Construction Code where relevant. These standards have been developed to consider access and inclusion.

The Logan Planning Scheme 2015 also makes references to safe, accessible and inclusive design. These references are outlined below.
