Transport

Whether you are making your way into the Accor Stadium via public transport or car, there are several inclusive options available in this State of Origin accessibility guide.  

Driving

 

Accessible parking spaces are available for those driving in and displaying a Mobility Parking Permit. For eventgoers that require an accessible parking space, you will need to book a general parking space in advance and park your vehicle in one of the designated spots.

Accessible Pick-Up and Drop-Off Zones

If you require a caregiver to drop you off or pick you up, you can do so only via the designated area along Dawn Fraser Avenue. You can do this by entering from Edwick Flack Avenue. If you are planning to do this, all vehicles must display their Mobility Parking Permit when using these zones.

Shuttle Bus

An accessible, low-floor shuttle bus is available from P3, P4, and P5 car parks and is available before and after the event. From there eventgoers will need to make their own way to the stadium.  

Public Transport

If you are planning on travelling via public transport, there will be additional trains and buses running to Olympic Park. To plan your trip, visit Transport NSW to find the best route from your starting destination. You can also filter transport options on Trip Planner by ticking the ‘Accessible services only’ box.
