Problem being addressed
Class 9 building users are more vulnerable than the general population in the event of a bushfire. Vulnerable people can be defined as individuals who may be unable to take care of themselves or are unable to protect themselves against harm. Class 9 buildings include hospitals, aged care buildings and schools. Over time, the risk of bushfire occurring is increasing due to climate change. Population growth also means that more communities are living in bushfire-prone areas.

Problem being addressed

People with disability face challenges when using public transport such as a lack of access to physical infrastructure, difficulty in accessing information that is suitable to their needs, and challenges with safely navigating a successful public transport journey. Where a person with disability is not afforded equitable access, service or safety in relation to other passengers, this can result in discrimination.
