Tactile compliance review programme for Melbourne Theatre Company

Few designers get the chance to envision an architecture that has the special impact as the new Melbourne Theatre Company precinct does.

Alighting from the pavement and jettisoned up the entry stairs, this architecture from Ashton Raggatt McDougall, the latest in their collection of leading projects, presents a plethora of colour.

According to Dean Homicki, CEO, DTAC , working on projects where design integrity is evident invigorates the product design team. The certified installers will also respond well, consulting and installing on building works where craftsmanship is appreciated.

To maintain the essential services requirement [AS/NZS 1428.4 (2002)] for the new Melbourne Theatre Company, DTAC will be enacting a 12 and 24 month 'Tactile Compliance Review Programme' where the installation is inspected and catalogued.

DTAC will make this information available to the facility manager and the building owner. The Customer Care Pack included a notification of the 'Compliance Review Programme', which starts with the architects' specification.

Most clients of the designers do not know about the responsibilities and obligations that govern the application of tactile indicators.
