Browse Forums Building Standards; Getting It Right! 1 Mar 12, 2014 4:22 pm Hi, Does anyone know if the Australian Standard AS1428 "Design For Access and Amenity" Is applicable to residential development? I am aware of its relevance to commercial construction projects however I have to build a disabled access ramp at my personal home to accommodate an elderly family member and was concerned I may have troubles selling the house in the future if I have a ramp which does not comply. Thanks Re: Disabled Access Ramps Compliance with AS1428 2Mar 12, 2014 5:17 pm I have a long term tenant in a unit that required access ramps front and back. The ramps fitted are compliant, detachable and easily removed without property damage. I still have the relevant paperwork here somewhere. I will have a look when I get a chance. 3in1 Supadiverta.
