The statutory basis for the establishment of a Centre for Excellence in Universal Design is in Part 6 of the Disability Act 2005. The Centre will be established within the National Disability Authority. Part 6 comes into force on 1 January 2007, and preparations for the establishment of the Centre are ongoing.
