Brothel policy discrimination against disabled

13th March 2008 -

"Port Stephens Councils has deferred consideration of new rules on development controls for brothels and restriced premises.
The council had removed a section of the new controls which would have forced premises such as adult shops and brothels off street level. There had been objections from the councils own disability access committee it would have discriminated against disabled people.But at last month's meeting councillors were concerned that the new policy was still too open and wanted greater restrictions included. There was a suggestion to amend the plan to stop adult shops and brothels from being near bus stops, schools, parks, playgrounds and where families and children gathered.
However the council decided to defer the matter to give more time to properly word further restrictions and check the legality of the changes. A new report was tabled at Tuesday's nights's committee meeting."
