Dear Sir/Madam,
I wish to lodge an Action Plan with the Commission as part of a process aimed at gaining Adelaide City Council approval for consulting room use of an area located on the first floor of a building without lift access. I have received and read your booklets titled 'Developing an effective Action Plan' and 'Advisory Notes on Access to Premises' and having consulted your office via telephone have been advised that in my particular circumstances a simple letter of explanation would suffice.

The rooms are located at 9 East Tce, Adelaide and currently have approval for office use. They are located on the first floor which is only accessable via a straight staircase. At this stage I am financially unable to upgrade the premises to enable access for the mobility impaired. My Action Plan therefore involves the use of alternative rooms to treat those unable to use stairs. I currently run a practice from my home at 36 Salisbury St. Unley and intend to keep this facility operational. These rooms have full disabled access and toilet/bathroom facilities. They also have superior parking to the rooms at East Ice.

The East Tce rooms have an intercom at street level for communication. All my consultations are by appointment and therefore any person who is unable to climb stairs will be booked into the Unley rooms.

I am signing a 1 year lease with an option for a further 2 periods of 1 year. My intention is to buy a warehouse and convert it into a combined residential/commercial premises within 2 years and thus move my practice away from East Tce. Should this not eventuate, and I decide to continue my business from East Ice. I will then install an electric stair conveyor suitable for transporting a person to the top of the stairs while comfortably and safely seated as well as modifying the toilet bathroom facilities as required.

I hope that this plan is acceptable to you and look forward to receiving your approval or otherwise at your earliest possible convenience.

Yours Sincerely

Tim Horry
