9.1      Development Applications - Equal Accessibility

EWIN

That in accordance with Council’s policy, the following Notice of Motion which was adopted by the City Planning Committee , be considered by the Council.

MOTION CARRIED

VOTING RECORD

COMMITTEE RESOLUTION:

Motion

“That Council officers produce a report on potential mechanisms and issues for ensuring that development applications that propose improved access facilities to meet the equal access requirements of the National Building Code are not singularly refused because of breaches in the heritage code of Council’s planning schemes or the Historic Cultural Heritage Act 1995.”

Rationale:

“Nipaluna/Hobart has many buildings protected on heritage grounds, which is fantastic, but many of them are inaccessible for people with access requirements, which is not so fantastic. Of course we need to protect what makes our town special, but this should never be at the cost of excluding anyone in our community, especially people with disabilities. We are also all bound, at all times, by the Anti-Discrimination Act; and the Building Code also sets out specific requirements for equal access for very good reasons.

The fact that we have had DAs before us recommended for refusal because of applicants needing to meet access requirements set out in the Building Code and to meet their requirements under Anti-Discrimination legislation based on protecting heritage, is completely unacceptable. I understand that officers only assess DAs based on planning criteria, but I believe in 2021 this should be balanced by meeting our requirements under the Anti-Discrimination Act 1992, as well as our Community Vision and Social Inclusion Strategy documents, which demonstrate our clear commitment to upholding principles of equity.”

That the information be received and noted.
