CPT and L&C What’s the Difference • Changing Places Toilets • Lift & Change Facilities • What is the difference? Sunday, July 23, 2017 8

Very little difference in the facility • Room to accommodate a wheelchair plus up to 2 carers • Height-adjustable adult change table • Overhead hoist for full room coverage • Additional Unisex Accessible Toilet • Master Locksmiths Access Key • Accredited Access Consultant Sunday, July 23, 2017 9

Differences • Concept / Project • Minor differences in dimensions • Inclusions • Accreditation • Peninsular Toilet • Responsibility of the Accredited Access Consultant Sunday, July 23, 2017 10

Differences • The Changing Places Information Guide and Technical Standard states that Changing Places is a concept, which is recommended for inclusion in major venues. E.g. Shopping Centres, sporting, recreational, cultural, transport, tourist destinations, parks and civic centres Sunday, July 23, 2017 11

Differences • Lift & Change is a NSW State Government – Local Government co-funded project, for which a grant is specifically provided to Local Councils for constructing or retro- fitting change facilities on Council owned properties. (3 Aquatic Centres, 3 Beach- side, 2 VIC, 2 major tourist destinations, 1 Museum) Sunday, July 23, 2017 12

Differences - Accreditation • Facilities constructed to one of the three CP designs, or an acceptable equivalent, can be Accredited. • L&C does not provide Accreditation, but encourages Councils to seek Accreditation if their facilities meet CP guidelines. • L&C acknowledges structural and financial restrictions Sunday, July 23, 2017 13

Minor differences and Inclusions • Some CP dimensions differ from L&C dimensions, but both comply with the AS1428.1 (2009) range (Change rails) • CP requires a shower screen, and privacy screen in front of the toilet • CP requires a peninsular toilet. L&C will accept a corner toilet where there is insufficient room Sunday, July 23, 2017 14
