Hazards

The Discovery Centre is fully accessible with no stairs or ramps upon entry or exit. Wheelchair users will be able to freely move through all areas of the venue. The surrounding Lot Fourteen precinct is mostly flat with access ramps available across the district. Frome Road is a steep slope, potentially making it difficult to travel for wheelchair users and people with restricted mobility. To avoid travelling up the hill, we recommend parking on the south side of North Terrace or catching public transport.
