          1. Home Environment.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Single storey brick residence on concrete slab.<\/p>\n

            Access:-  Front <\/strong>The home is accessed from the road via a gravel drive, joining to a<\/p>\n

            paved pathway. There is a garage on the left on facing. . This is not the preferred<\/p>\n

            entrance.  Height of step into house 160mm, limited space due to front pillars at<\/p>\n

            entrance.<\/p>\n

              Client Name: <\/strong><\/p>\n

              Date 10 May 2016 <\/strong><\/p>\n

            Whilst this access can be modified it is not the preferred access due to<\/p>\n

            \uf0b7 Front door would require widening to accommodate a wheelchair<\/p>\n

            \uf0b7 Path of travel is narrow and would require carer to undertake 90\u1dbf turn. This<\/p>\n

            presents a manual handling risk to navigate to main family living area and<\/p>\n

            bedroom.<\/p>\n

            \uf0b7 O would be exposed to the elements of an uncovered ramp which are<\/p>\n

            detrimental to her health, and the side ramped entrance is under cover.<\/p>\n

            Side access:- <\/strong><\/p>\n

            This is the preferred access. Currently accessed via drive through garage. The rear<\/p>\n

            yard is covered, which prevents Olivia being exposed to the elements when<\/p>\n

            mobilising.<\/p>\n

            The existing brushed concrete ramp does not comply to the National Construction<\/p>\n

            Code (NCC) and Building Codes (BCA)(2016) being 270mm in height and 2220mm in<\/p>\n

            length, thus providing approximately  1:8 gradient on a ramp that should be 1:14<\/p>\n

            (NCC\/BCA 2016 and in consideration of AS 1428.1 (Design for Access and Mobility.<\/p>\n
