Continuous accessible paths of travel (CAPT) must be provided from the property boundary to the event, from accessible parking and throughout the event to all activities. This means the path/s need to be:

  • Free from steps, turnstiles, signage, stalls, furniture, bins, bollards, or temporary infrastructure like power cables or installations
  • A minimum width of 1000mm
  • A minimum height clearance of 2000mm
  • A level, firm, slip-resistant surface in wet and dry conditions. Avoid surfaces like grass and coarse gravel.

Temporary options:

  • Where outdoor events are held on grassed areas, portable matting can be used to create a CAPT.
  • Where temporary ramps, stairs and matting are used, make sure they comply with Australian Standard 1428.1.
