Lift/Venue Access

There is a lift that operates between all three of these levels, located next to the main reception desk. Braille is written on the lift buttons to assist vision-impaired guests. There is also a fully paved traversable route around the outside of the building and the wider complex.

Parking

There are eight (8) total ACROD bays spread throughout the complex, with three (3) being located outside the main entrance, with a further five (5) within the basement carpark, which can be accessed at the rear of the building. There are hundreds of regulation sized bays available for use, as well as several nearby locations that are a brief walk/wheel away, that boast much larger quantities of ACROD bays if an extra allotment is necessary, such as at Perth HPC. 

Seating

The maining viewing-style seating inside the venue is at the tiered seating adjacent to the main court. Unfortunately, there are no specific accessible or wheelchair bays present in this grandstand, as the entry point to the seating is from the ground, with the rows proceeding upwards,  rather than entering at the top of the stand and proceeding downwards. However, there is adequate room on the sides of the grandstand for wheelchairs users to occupy and maintain a good viewing experience.  

Ticketing

Companion cards are accept for casual use of the venue. If a patron is accompanied by a support person and presents a valid Companion Card to staff, then their support person is entitled free entry and use of the court alongside the paying patron.

For ticketed events, the use and acceptance of Companion Cards is down to the individual event provider and their policies.
