Provide background and inform stakeholders of progress to date Outline amendments under consideration and examine the need for further impact analysis Outline timeframes and proposed details for incremental amendments Highlight opportunities for stakeholders to provide feedback. It is intended that the Handbook and Directions Report will be freely available from in 2013. In the meantime those responsible for buildings are encouraged to develop policies and procedures for emergency egress including, for example, Personal Emergency Egress Plans (PEEPS) for occupants with disability. A web search will provide examples of PEEPS. Performance Requirement DP6 This Performance Requirement establishes the performance to be met in providing access to exits within a building. See comments on clause A2.4 of the Premises Standards above. The Performance Requirement does not apply to bed and breakfast facilities (Class 1b) or non-habitable buildings (Class 10), or to the internal parts of a sole-occupancy unit in an apartment block (Class 3). It should also be noted that the Premises Standards do not apply to sole-occupancy units in a Class 2 building (see paragraph 2.1(2)(a) of the Premises Standards). Performance Requirement DP8 If carparking is provided in or around a building and the carpark is associated with that building, accessible carparking spaces must be provided (other than in relation to Class 2 buildings). These spaces are required to be larger than a conventional space. This facilitates a person transferring from a vehicle to their wheelchair or other mobility aid or disembarking in their wheelchair. This Performance Requirement establishes the performance to be met in providing carparking spaces for use by people with disability. Compliance with DP8 is achieved by: complying with the clauses identified in clause D3.0 (Deemed-to-Satisfy Provisions) developing a suitable alternative approach (Alternative Solution), or a combination of a) and b). The Performance Requirement does not apply to a building where a parking service is provided, such as valet parking where direct access to carparking spaces by the general public or occupants is not available.
