Accessibility Guide

This guide provides information about the accessible features and facilities offered at the Eltham Jazz, Food & Wine Festival.

We hope this guide will encourage people of all ages and abilities to enjoy the Festival and fully participate.

The Site: The Festival is situated across Eltham town centre and therefore the terrain is mostly flat and pavement. However, please note that the Town Square and Commercial Place maybe congested at times.

There are some slopes from the car parks to the Festival site but they are not very steep. There are also two ground-level car parks. Ramps are located close to any steps.

Please see this site map to locate the following facilities.

  • Accessible parking bays

  • Unisex accessible toilet facilities

  • Volunteer staffed Information Stand

  • First aid stand

Public Transport, Taxis and Parking: Public transport and a taxi rank are located close to the festival site. There is also parking behind the festival site. See the site map for their location.

Information Stand: If you require any assistance or have any questions, there will be volunteers at the Information Stand throughout the festival. Hard copies of this guide and sunscreen are available at the Information Stand too.

Wheelchair Recharge Facility: There are several recharge facilities around the site. Ask at the information stand for their location.

Unisex Accessible Toilet Facilities: There are two unisex accessible toilet facilities in the area. One is in Eltham Village Shopping Centre and one is next to Town Square and Pryor Street.

Traffic: The festival site is closed to general traffic and is controlled by traffic wardens. We encourage attendees to use the pedestrian crossings when possible.

Drop off Zones: There are several accessible car parks where attendees can be dropped off. A drop off zone between the Town Square and Arthur Street is marked on the map.
