Section Summary
SDA Lift considerations Checklist:
Where a cleaners’ store is being provided ensure they are well located, fitted out with robust finishes and equipment and are secure.
•
The practicalities around lift use for people with limited mobility using for scooters and wheelchairs needs to be a key consideration. Where possible locate accessible apartments and services close to lift cores to minimise extensive paths of travel. Although not a statutory requirement, emergency power solutions to cater for a minimum two-hour outage where the welfare of participants is at risk is preferred. Provision of emergency power also requires fire rated cabling. Feasibility of this is to be discussed with HCA on a project by project basis.
Cleaners Store Considerations Checklist:
•
•
Cleaners stores should be located adjacent to lift cores where possible and in basement areas is preferred.
• •
Consider travel distances when locating cleaners’ stores.
There should be provision for a minimum of one per building and at the basement or ground level lift core.

(a) variable door closing rate i.e. delayed at accessible dwelling levels. (b) Self-levelling platform with the floor. (c) Voice annunciation.

Generally, only high-density developments will have the need for a package store. With the changing nature of how we receive goods and the turn towards online shopping and contactless delivery requirements secure package store facilities need to be considered.
Package Store Considerations Checklist:
• •
Package Store located near building entry and o ce.
If there are multiple buildings, each building requires its own package store adjacent to the main entry. Potential locker allocation to be considered as part of FF&E on an as needs basis.
•
• • •
All for afterhours access and collection
CCTV surveillance required.
Consideration as to whether groceries will be delivered and whether there needs to be refrigeration / temperature control to the space. Consideration given to accessibility of package store by people with a disability
