The complainant has an ambulatory disability and is unable to safely walk on soft or uneven ground. He alleged he was unable to access a local bus stop because it was located on a grass slope.
On being advised of the complaint, the respondent local council indicated a willingness to try to resolve the matter by conciliation.
The complaint was resolved with an undertaking by the local council to seek approval to relocate the bus stop to a more evenly graded location on the same street and to place a cement slab between the footpath and kerb for commuters to stand on.
