Disabled access to venues, disability parking, disabled toilets

Bright Community Centre, 1 Railway Avenue: 

The Bright Community Centre has a ramp on the entrance facing the Burke Street carpark but this may be too steep for manual wheelchairs. However, the doors into the hall on the Railway Avenue side of the building are at street level and if you let us know when you are coming we can let you in there.

There are a couple of disabled parking spots in the Burke St carpark facing the creek. We will also reserve some parking spots (on a flat paved surface) for wheelchair users at the rear of the hall accessed via Railway Avenue.  There is a disabled toilet to the right of the stage. 

Senior Citizens Centre, 2 Cobden St

The Senior Citizens centre is fully accessible via paved surfaces to the front entrance off Cobden Street and from the carpark next door on the corner of Cobden St and Bakers Gully Road. There are disabled parking spaces in that carpark.

Bright Courthouse Theatre, 1-3 Park St 

The Bright Courthouse Theatre is accessible via a ramp on the left hand side of the building (if you are coming in from the carpark off Park Street).  
We will reserve some disabled parking spots as close to the entrance as we can. Note that the surface is gravel until you get to the ramp leading into the building. The outside toilets are disability accessible. 

Public Toilets

There are public toilets, with disabled access,  in the Burke St carpark, a very short walk from the Community Hall, that are open 24/7.
