"In an Australian first, the Brumby Government will introduce a package of measures to encourage Victorians to Build for Life. A new community awareness campaign and regulatory measures will allow one in five Victorians who have a disability or are over the age of 60 to build accessible features into new homes. Planning Minister Justin Madden and Community Services and Senior Victorians Minister Lisa Neville launched the Build For Life campaign at a Parkville Gardens home showcasing some of the accessible features available. The Build for Life awareness campaign will inform builders, designers and consumers of accessible design elements to be built into new homes.”
