Disability Discrimination Act (DDA)

​

During the development approval process, there are some instances that a council may try to push for an adult retailer to operate only from the first floor of a retail premises.

 

That is, they don’t wish for the shop front to be on the ground floor.

 

It has been argued that this is in breach of federal Disability Discrimination Act if:

​

1.

Lift access is otherwise not available to access the first floor in an existing building; and/or

​

2.

State-based building codes do not legally require lift access when a new construction is below a certain number of storeys; and/or

​

3.

It can be argued that either or both staff and customers have a range of access requirements that will not be met by the retail business being situated on the first floor.

​
