Sometimes a mobility feature in the built environment can look accessible and appear to provide for a person with a disability. 

The technical details of Standards and where and when to apply such technical requirements demand training and expertise. Knowledge from the designer of an accessible building feature and skills of the practitioner who will carry out the work.

This video journal details an experience where a tradesperson's competent skills meet with the failure of instruction (or design) of where and how to install Tactile Ground Surface Indicators (TGSIs). 

This problematic scenario occurs at the top and bottom of an accessible entrance ramp into a health facility. 

Location: Ballarat Central, Victoria
