Bus Stop

The nearest bus stop to the Community Centre is just across the road on Rintoul Street – number 6119. Buses numbered 1 and 22 stop here. It has an awesome colourful covered bus stop, with a seat and a digital display to show you up to date information on when buses are due. If you can manage kerbs, simply cross the road and the Community Centre is right there. If kerbs are tricky, head down the road towards the intersection of Rintoul & Riddiford, turn left across Rintoul, then turn left again to head back up Rintoul. Cross Colombo St and the Community Centre is right there. There are kerb ramps with tactile markings at all the road crossings.

Stop number 6019 is also close by – on Riddiford St near the corner of Wilson St.

Car Parking

There is an access car park outside the Community Centre on Rintoul Street.

There is car parking in the surrounding streets – both "residents only" and free on street parking. Right outside is a few parks that are 10minutes each.

Fixed Ramps to the Main Entrance

Our main entrance is wheelchair accessible via a ramp on the right side of the building (if you are looking straight at the building) The door opens automatically from the inside and out – there is a sensor, so it will open as you approach.

Our Community Centre has several different venues inside. On the ground floor we have our theatre, dance hall, community centre office, Citizens' Advice Bureau, the kitchen and the drop in / hang space. We have a piano in the foyer space and the community fridge (anyone is welcome to put food in and take food out).

The theatre has a small ramp at its entrances – there are two and they are double wide doors. Take care when using this. The floor slopes down towards the stage.

The second level of our building has an elevator. This level has two meeting rooms, a larger meeting/craft room and The Wellington Timebank office. The Justice of the Peace service also operates out of one of the smaller rooms.

The stairs have good handrails on both sides. 

Accessible Toilet

There is an accessible toilet on the ground floor – there is a baby change station for parents in this room. There are four other single toilets and for any gender to use.

Kitchen Facilities

Kitchen facilities can be used by most access users. There is a zip for boiling water which may be difficult for some users to use safely, but there is also a small Hot water Billie. The stove, microwave, cutlery & crockery is relatively easily reached.

The exits at the Community Centre are well sign-posted. Although there are a number of exits, there is only one step free exit at the front entrance.
