Equitable dignified access should be provided to temporary structures where event activities are being held. This includes providing access ramps. If an access ramp is needed, it should comply with Australian Standard 1428.4.2 Design for Access and Mobility means to assist.

This means:

  • As far as possible, the ramped entry to a temporary structure is provided at the main entry point
  • The ramp has a gradient of not more than 1:14. Steeper ramps can be used where the rise is no more than 190mm

Where the accessible entrance is not the main entry point it must be:

  • Not more than 50m from the main entry point
  • Clearly sign posted at the main entry point
  • Clearly sign posted at each accessible entrance.

Where it is not practical to provide ramp access, an alternate means of access such as a platform lift should be provided.
