| Attribution | |
| Application | Application 1: Travel distance limit [number of storeys to
travel] from a floor level in a dwelling unit to
an exit or egress door, where that floor level has
direct access to a balcony, in dwelling units containing
more than 1 storey, in buildings to
which Part 9 applies [see Sentence 1.3.3.3.(1) of Division A for application
of Part 9]. |

| Intent | Intent 1: To supersede the requirements of Sentence 9.9.9.1.(1),
which would otherwise limit the travel distance to 1 storey to reach an exit
or egress door, and permit a travel distance of more than 1 storey, on the
basis that the floor level is served by a balcony, which can be used to provide
a safe refuge area in an emergency situation. This is
to limit the probability of delays in evacuation or moving to a safe place,
which could lead to harm to persons.
Intent 2: To supersede the requirements of Sentences 9.9.9.1.(1) and (2),
which would otherwise impose other travel distance or exit limitations.
