General information

Travel instructions

There is a single designated parking space outside Kevin Paisley Eyewear (approx. 30 metres down hill of the Minerva). The closest bus stop to the Minerva is the Old Post Office/Sturt St bus stop on Sturt Street. This is uphill of the BMI, across the other side of the road. We are also 500 metres from the Ballarat Railway Station.

Entry instructions

The Minerva is completely wheelchair accessible with a small inline (approx. 2º) in our main entrance foyer (from Sturt Street), and lift access throughout the building. For theatre seated performances we reserve seats for people who use a wheelchair and an accompanying person. If you require an accessible spot for a wheelchair please contact the Venue Manager on 0419 677 713 or via email before booking your ticket, or let us know after you have booked your ticket so that we can ensure you get an accessible seat.

After entry instructions

After entering the venue you should seek out our lift. The lift is located on the ground level to the right just past the main stairs. The doors to the lift are 90cm wide, and the lift is 210cm long. The buttons are at a height 1m off the floor and have Braille indicators. The lift is rated for 1000kg. The lift will take you to each of our spaces throughout the building including the Minerva Space, the Humffray Room, and the bathrooms located in the Hugh Williamson Foyer (mezzanine level). Our lift also has a VoiceOver to notify you of which level it is stopping at, and which way the lift is heading (up or down).

Toilet location

The Minerva has two accessible bathrooms. One is located near the main bathrooms and is publicly available while there is an event at the Minerva. This bathroom is a Left Hand Transfer all-gender bathroom and is large enough to manoeuvre a wheelchair. There are no steps to access this bathroom and is accessible via the lift (go to HW Foyer – button 2).
