Why this matters

A well-placed screen and clear approach make the service useful to someone standing, using a wheelchair, carrying shopping or helping another person.

What to bring back

Make full-size layouts with measurements, viewing angles, shelter and clear paths. Try them with standing, seated and assisted users. Include paper and audio options where appropriate, and record what people can complete.

What we know so far

• Straddie Disaster Kiosk Pitch.pdf — reviewed source; public copy can be added through the evidence process
• Professional review and comparison of proposed improvements (When this work overlaps professional or public-authority responsibilities, compare the proposal and Luke's research with applicable industry/global best practice and relevant legal-engine sources. Record differences, reasonable improvements and deficiencies, with the responsible reviewer and response. Routine authorised drafting and wiki work can advance.)
• Council plan crosswalk and proposed Aura integration (Relevant question row identifies the management/recovery source section and printed/PDF page. AI-generated analysis, 21 October 2026; proposed checks and actual review/operating agreements retain separate status.)

AI-generated potential answers

For discussion and review · research checked 2026-10-20. These are AI-generated options and transfer assessments. The user's request and research method identify the source of this work. The source catalogue states what the references establish. The decision and approval record retains its own status.

Offer one welcoming journey with readable text, reachable controls, clear paths and chosen audio assistance. Test a full-size mock-up with seated and standing users, wet hands, glare and darkness; retain a printed information surface and a useful assisted route.

Full-size access workshop

AI-generated adaptation of an existing pattern. Build adjustable cardboard and timber mock-ups before committing to metalwork. Compare screen angles, control positions, sheltered standing space and personal-phone access with people who use wheelchairs, mobility aids and hearing or vision supports.

Research basis: D.D.A. guide: The ins and outs of access.

Chosen Aura access profile

AI-generated future concept. Let a person temporarily bring their preferred language, reading scale or interaction method through an Aura or loan device. Keep the public controls usable independently and automatically clear session preferences afterward.

Examples and local differences

• D.D.A. guide: The ins and outs of access: AI transfer assessment: Public-place access and accessible information belong in the same design conversation. Local difference to check: The actual kiosk still needs measured design advice and trials with local users.

Evidence to bring back next

• Seek access-design measurements and confirm the applicable current requirements.
• Record independent task completion and participant feedback for each layout.

People and connected choices

Who reviews: Proposed accessibility lead with community users and site host; role and appointment awaiting confirmation
