It is important to consider how people will get to your event. The key things to consider are:

  • Accessible public transport options.
  • Walkability between accessible public transport and the venue. Identify the continuous accessible routes to your event (step free with no steep gradients) and ideally have some rest points along the way. The Navability Map shows footpaths, shared pathways, and trails accessible by wheelchair in the Wollongong CBD.
  • Offering accessible shuttle services for people with restricted mobility.
  • Accessible parking and drop off points. Aim for 1% of onsite parking to be accessible and two designated accessible car spaces within 200m of the event.
  • Where it is not possible to provide accessible parking onsite, provide information about the closest accessible parking options available. You can find a map of Council's accessible parking spaces on our Accessible Parking page.
  • Provide information about the accessible public transport, parking and drop-off zones on the event website and promotional materials.

Other considerations:

  • People who use mobility scooters may need access to power points to recharge their scooters.
  • Where temporary seating is being used, aim to provide a minimum of 25% of the seating with backs and arm rests.
  • Use furniture that has good colour contrast to surrounding surfaces.
