Waterfront beach wheelchairs
There is a beach wheelchair available for use in summer at the Geelong Waterfront, free of charge to people with limited mobility.
The wheelchair is available in summer from the Eastern Beach Life Guard rooms.
The chair has large tyres suitable for all terrain access and floating armrests to give users the feeling of floating in the water.
We have also installed rubber beach matting to provide a safe pathway from Eastern Beach car park and footpath to the water’s edge at the outdoor swimming enclosure.
The new beach pathway provides easier access across the soft sand to help people who experience mobility challenges and parents with prams to get closer to the water.
Availability
7 days a week in summer - no booking taken.
Hours
11:00am to 6:00pm (nominal session time is one hour).
How to book
Visit the Eastern Beach Life Guard rooms to book.
Wheelchair accessible taxis
Geelong Taxi Network has 30 wheelchair accessible taxis that cover Geelong, Torquay and the Bellarine Peninsula.
Fire management and prevention
The management of fire is an important element to manage for any event.
