Access Audits
Access audits are on-site assessments of existing infrastructure or developments that are still under construction. Our detailed access audit reports identify non-compliance issues with reference to relevant legislation and standards, and provide recommendations for how compliance can be achieved.
Prior to undertaking an audit, we consult with our client to fully understand the facility, who uses it, any outstanding access issues, and the project’s background and required outcomes.
The types of facilities we audit are broad in scale and diverse in nature. They can range from a single car parking bay, a multi-campus university, business precincts, commercial and private accommodation, sport and recreational facilities, parks and reserves, streetscapes, play-spaces and beachfronts.
We also conduct access audits of the temporary infrastructure used for festivals and events, with a focus on the dynamic problem solving required in these settings.
No matter the size, type or setting, we approach all access audits with the same goal: to ensure the environment is safe and accessible.
We especially encourage our clients to think beyond the minimum legislated requirements and can provide advice regarding planning and prioritising any future works to enhance access.
