A disproportionate burden is a discrepancy between:

• improvements actually made to buildings; and
• the amounts needed to finance the work.

To determine whether a burden can be considered disproportionate, the Minister will assess:

• the estimated cost of carrying out the work;
• the discriminatory effect that not carrying out the work may have on people with a disability;
• whether public funding can perhaps compensate for not carrying out the work;
• how useful these improvements will be for people with a disability;
• the lifespan of the buildings (to see whether the buildings will be demolished soon or whether they will continue to exist for some time).
