Navigating the venue
Getting around this venue can be challenging for wheelchair users and visitors with limited mobility, due to the varied and uneven gradient of paths and terrain.
The path from Linlithgow Ave to Gate 1 is a compact gravel path on an incline that not all guests find easy to navigate.
The Sidney Myer Music Bowl has a golf buggy available that our team can operate should you require assistance getting from Linlithgow Ave to the venue entrance (shown below). The golf buggy seats up to 2 people plus the driver and is not able to be pre-booked. Please seek out our team located on Linlithgow Avenue, around the base of the path that leads to Gate 1, when you arrive, should you need to use this service. Our team will be wearing orange hi-vis vests. Note the buggy cannot be operated within the venue.
Once inside the venue, the pathway leading down to the seated stalls area has a gradient at 1:5. Our team are unable to handle wheelchairs directly but they can act as a spotter.
There are no tactile ground surface indicators installed prior to steps in Stalls seating.
