Queensland Minister for Housing, Leeanne Enoch, said a review is underway of a community housing complex’s decision to remove its disabled car parks after receiving a complaint that they were discriminatory to able-bodied people.
A resident of the complex who has been living in the wheelchair-accessible unit for three years said the carparks gave him shelter from the weather while he takes the extra time to get into and out of his car.
Minister Enoch said the review of the department’s policy on car parks will seek to investigate whether it provides adequate support for people with disabilities.
