Event: F*** Christmas Warehouse Party

General information

Travel instructions

Get the train to West Footscray Station 1. Exit the Station: Take the high-capacity lift from the station platform up to the main concourse level, then take the street-level lift down to Cross Street (the side facing Mission Whitten Oval). 2. Head East on Cross Street: Turn left out of the station onto the wide, paved footpath of Cross Street. Follow it for about 200 metres, walking parallel to the Whitten Oval fence line. 3. Turn Right onto Gordon Street: Use the signalised pedestrian crossing at the intersection of Cross Street and Gordon Street. Once across, turn right and head south down Gordon Street. 4. Turn Left onto Barkly Street: Continue down Gordon Street for about 300 metres until you reach the major intersection at Barkly Street. Use the signalised pedestrian crossing here to cross safely. 5. Arrive at the Drill Hall: Turn left onto Barkly Street. The Footscray Drill Hall is located almost immediately on your right (at 395 Barkly Street).

Entry instructions

Use the Side Entrance: Head past the front of the building and turn into the side carpark driveway. The entrance has a permanent, 1-metre-wide ramp located. Surface Note: Be aware that the carpark surface directly leading up to the ramp consists of compacted gravel, which can require a little extra effort for manual wheelchairs or smaller wheels.

Hazards

The room can be quite full, but we will be sure to keep a clear travel path to the accessible toilets. During Summer the room can get very hot. We're hiring air conditioning units but it will still be warm as it's a giant tin shed.

Toilet location

Locate the Facilities: The accessible and standard gender-neutral toilets are located directly inside this main venue space. Once you pass the front-of-house greeting desk, you do not need to navigate any further steps or split levels to reach them. They sit flush with the main wooden warehouse hall floor. Look for the Signs: Staff are stationed at the entrance foyer to immediately point you in the right direction, and clear visibility signs hang adjacent to the wide doors. Space & Radius: The accessible bathroom is uniquely oversized to accommodate larger power wheelchairs, mobility scooters, and bulky walking frames
