Disability access
Premises standards ensure the cost-effective, equitable and dignified access to building and
amenities provided to people who has the disability access. The 101 Collins Street is required to
upgrade the existing building regarding the disability access. The practitioners will be required to
referring to the State and Territory rules. There are many specific considerations like upgrade to
the present lifts and accessible unisex toilets. The affected part of the building is from the travel
path to main areas to lift should be upgraded by the handrails/signage. It will help to encourage
the extensive upgrades of buildings and ensure the appropriate cases where access will be
available to the new areas of building including accessibility. This will be effective to identify
the existing components of the business to establish within the many ways (Cook, 2020).
The access handbook template will remain the useful for 101 Collins Street management, new
workers and maintenance personnel. This will provide the simple way to improve and ensure
access for people. The parking spaces for person with the disabilities should be accessible
checked to improve the spaces of parking and points off drop and increase the size of entrance
door and designed to improve the accessibilities. There should be putting steps avoided within
the building where possible. The steps should be necessarily provided within the platform lift as
much as appropriate. The signs should be effectively placed to let the customers understand
through the appropriate symbols. Areas of reception with the rooms of waiting should be
effectively designed and regularly maintained with the appropriate guidance. This will provide
the accurate designed seats. This kind of mixtures should include the arm rests and many other
facilities within the waiting room (Clark, 2020).
Proposed performance solution
National construction code is known as the performance based code which includes all the
required performance for construction of building. The hierarchy regarding guidance and levels
of code compliance with performance of building in the areas such as disability access, plumbing
structural safety is included. This is effective as set the minimum technical requirement for the
new building and work within the existing buildings. It is appropriate as provide the overview of

available options which remain the good to demonstrate compliance with National construction
code.
(Muldowney, 2019)
It is known as the performance based code which builds the solutions to comply with the
National Construction Code (NCC) and satisfies appropriate performance requirements. It
provides the general requirements as the governing rules sets which highlight that NCC must be
used and procedure must be followed. For improve the disability access within the Performance
requirements describes the minimum for building The 101 Collins Street elements and related
systems. These are must and met the demonstrate compliance with National Construction Code.
To increase the disability access such as hand railing, ramp, highlighters, signals, and more areas
for increase the accessibility will cover with the facets of applying NCC by including reference
documents, interpretation and acceptance of new construction, design, and classification of The
101 Collins Street within the NCC.
The main key to performance based NCC is that no obligation to adopt the specific component,
material, method of construction, and design factors. It delivers the choice regarding compliance
pathways. It can be met through the use of performance solution as alternative solution or using

the deemed to satisfy solution (Smith, 2020). Options regarding demonstration of compliance
with the performance solution as followed.
Performance solution
This is known as unique regarding every individual situation. This kind of solution is flexible to
achieve outcome and encouraging the innovative designs with the use of technology. The
performance solution will directly remain the appropriate to address performance requirements
through the use of one or more methods of assessment available within the NCC.
Deemed to satisfy the solution (DTS)
It effectively follows the set recipe of when, what and how to complete something. The use of
DTS solution from NCC in The 101 Collins Street will include the required material,
components, factors regarding design, and methods of construction which are deemed to meet
the requirements of performance.
