Roll with the Tides: Anglesea Beach Accessibility Twilight Event
We are partnering with local agencies to run a twilight Come and Try event at the Anglesea Riverbank this summer
Come along to chat all things:
- Accessible beaches on our coast
- Beach mobility equipment (including beach wheelchairs and portable hoists)
- Accessible parking, changing places facility and riverside access matting at Anglesea Riverbank.
- How to book beach mobility equipment this summer season
Discover and try out a beach wheelchair at the event
Beach matting will be rolled out at the Anglesea Riverbank and there will be beach mobility equipment to try out and see at the event, including Mobi-Chairs and a Birdie EVO Compact Hoist (see images below).
Important things to note:
- Our staff are unable to assist with transfers to beach wheelchairs or hoists. If you need this support, please arrange for a carer or support person to accompany you on the day.
- If you wish to try out the hoist on the day, you are required to bring along your own sling.
- Due to the nature of this event, equipment can be used on the beach matting and sand, but for safety reasons water access using the equipment cannot be facilitated
What to expect on the day
The event will be held on a flat grassy area next to the 'shark park' on the Anglesea Riverbank.
Some seating will be provided on the day, however, please feel free to bring your own (picnic rugs and camping chairs welcome!)
A sausage sizzle will kick off at 3:30pm!
Facilities
- Accessible parking available at 4 Kings carpark
