"Victorians are set to benefit from more practical and accessible homes under proposed new Brumby Labor Government building regulations. Planning Minister Justin Madden released a Regulatory Impact Statement (RIS) for comment to look at making low-cost accessibility features compulsory in new Victorian homes to achieve smarter design, accessibility and affordability.“The Brumby Labor Government is taking action to make new homes more sustainable and accessible for all Victorian families,’’ Mr Madden said. A well designed house with accessible features means it can meet the changing needs of families from raising small children, to ageing parents or people living with a disability.’’
