The Australian DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) means that it is against the law for a public space to be inaccessible to disabled people, which includes public footpaths and sidewalks.
When Safe Footpaths undertake your trip hazard repairs, you can be sure that the end finish is DDA-compliant.
DDA-compliant areas are achieved when, amongst other factors:
- There is easy access to public areas.
- Footpaths allow easy passage for everyone.
- Trip hazards are eliminated from existing footpaths and sidewalks.
The ‘slicing’ method we use to level out uneven surfaces was born after Nick’s experience in property maintenance with the inferior grinding machine technique. We find that our approach is quicker, cleaner and results in a more pristine footpath.
Since starting work in 2015, Safe Footpaths has repaired 1000s of kilometres of footpaths and other pedestrianised external areas. We now have 20+ fully-trained staff spanning Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide.
Reach out directly to Nick and Andrew to discuss how we can modify your footpath to be free from trip hazards and DDA-compliant in a way that matches your budget.
