We are committed to complying with the Disability Discrimination Act and have made significant improvements to our website in order to reduce the barriers experienced by people with disabilities.

However, we may occasionally make mistakes as this website is updated by many different people. If you find that you can not use any of our pages, please contact the Web Team and to let us know. We will make every reasonable effort to either remove the barrier or provide the information in a format that you find acceptable.

It is widely recognized that there are no truly accessible mapping web interfaces in the mainstream marketplace, but we make every effort to ensure this site can be accessed by as many people as possible.

Our website currently meets Priority 1 of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines and we are working towards meeting the requirements for Priority 2.

Our website has been designed with the following accessible guidelines in mind:

  • The site uses a stylesheet and relative font sizes on all text with the exception of graphical text. The font size of text can be changed in size by using the “view” option in the browser and selecting your desired “font size”.
  • All images, where appropriate, have an alternative text attribute. This means that when an image is conveying important information its content is described with an alternative text. Where an image is used for a decorative the alternative text attribute has been left blank.

The standard support browser versions are:

  • Internet Explorer 5.0+
  • Netscape 6.2+
  • Firefox 1.07
  • If you have problems accessing data you can request it in a more suitable format by emailing us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
