Our main Celebration Stage in the Arts Precinct will have an accessible viewing area at the front of the stage, with an accessible path of travel leading to it.

This will be available all day from 11am - 6pm, and there's no need for bookings! Simply ask one of our friendly event volunteers or a staff member for assistance on the day.

There are existing accessible toilets at the following locations:

• Wollongong Library, Council’s Administration Building

• Wollongong Central

We'll be adding more temporary accessible toilets within the Arts Precinct too.

From Crown Street Mall to Lower Crown Street and into the Arts Precinct, there are accessible paths of travel.

There will be a temporary ramp available in the Arts Precinct for wheelchair users to access the grassed area.

There will also be Super Track Matting from the rear to the ramp running along the grass to facilitate wheelchair use.

A shaded area with chairs is available for our older community to use at the rear of the Arts Precinct. This area is available throughout the event with a good view of the Celebration Stage.
