Disabled Access
Disabled Access Mid Week
It is suggested that the best time to access the exhibition
for people with disabilities is mid week. This is especially
due to the possibility that, if you call in advance to our site
office on 02 8399 0233, we might be able to have members of the
site team assist with managing stairs.
The best places to get wheel chair access to the exhibition
are down the driveway ramp at Tamarama Beach on Pacific Drive
or the corner of Fletcher Street and Mark's Lane. These two
locations enable reasonable access to significant sections of
the exhibition without having to manage stairs. Should you wish
to access these locations please contact our site office on
02 8399 0233 so staff can be advised accordingly. Once drop offs
have been made all vehicles must then move and find parking
on the street, where normal parking restrictions will continue
to operate.
Disabled Access Weekend
The nature of the exhibition changes considerably on the weekend.
Firstly, the work load of our site team is significantly increased
so we are almost certainly unable to assist people with managing
stairs, unless we happen to be on the spot.
It is also important to note that we close Notts Avneue, Fletcher
Street, Kenneth Street and Mark's Lane from 10am-6pm on each
Saturday and Sunday of the exhibition. If you call our office
in advance on 8399 0233 and numbers allow, we should be able
to list you car registration number to enable you to park in
these streets, where normal parking restrictions will continue
to operate.
Disabled Access & Park Areas
Please note that the grass park areas of the exhibition do not
have pathways so people in wheel chairs should take this into
account when planning their visits.
Disabled Access for Groups
Please call the site office on 8399 0233 if you plan to have
groups of disabled people visiting the exhibition we will do
our utmost to assist.
Café Facilities along the Coastal Walk
There are two cafes along the coastal walk where you can pick
up a delightful range of snacks and refreshments. Stop in at
the Marks Park Café in the hub of the exhibition or the
Tamarama Café and relax whilst overlooking Tamarama Beach.
Local
Bars & Restaurants
There is no shortage of bars, cafes and restaurants in the
Bondi area. Here is a selection but we suggest you enjoy trying
them all!
