It would seem that Australia’s home builders believe that
home building is the preserve of young fit people. The way they present their
display homes certainly reinforces this notion. The average display home is effectively
an obstacle course for the disabled. First they increase the amount of walking
involved by requiring their prospective customers to enter and leave through
the sales office.
Often there is a step into the sales office on either
side. Then they locate wooden platforms on the path between the office and the
display house. These platforms appear to have no practical purpose other than
ensure that only able-bodied individuals gain access. It’s particularly bad
luck if you wish to view a display home which is not directly located beside
the sales office. Not only do you have to walk further but you very probably
have to negotiate more than one of these redundant wooden platforms both on the
way in and on the way out.
