PDA’s CEO, Jeremy Muir, states “we believe that QLD’s opting out of the Livable Housing Design Standard (LHDS) would be a giant step backwards not only for Queenslanders living with a disability, but for the community in general – whether at this time or in the future.
With an ageing population, the Brisbane Paralympics being held in 2032, and QLD’s population growth heavily influenced by people from the southern states moving to QLD to enjoy our lifestyle, this move appears counter-productive, bad business and not forward thinking.
We stand by QDN’s statement that “accessible housing isn’t a luxury, it is a basic human right”. “
