West Coast International College of English regrets to announce the postponement of our opening from August 1, 2005 to August 7, 2006.
Amendments to the Australian Building Code which came into effect late last year require new Australian businesses accessed by the general public to provide full wheelchair access to guarantee disabled clients a quality of service equal to that available to any other client. Unfortunately, no suitable premises currently for lease in central Bunbury fulfil both the Australian Building Code and NEAS accreditation requirements. The relevant authorities at the Federal, State and Council levels have been contacted and every alternative has been considered in our efforts to resolve this unexpected impasse, but no exemptions to new businesses is possible.
Please be assured that suitable arrangements will be made and West Coast International College of English will open in Bunbury, Western Australia on Monday August 7, 2006, in time for next year's peak season.
