Kardinia Park stadium accessibility

Ms COUZENS: Making sure that Geelong is an inclusive and accessible city is something I am really passionate about, so I was delighted to join the Minister for Disability, Ageing and Carers and my colleague the member for Lara to officially open the new Changing Places facility at Kardinia Park stadium. I thank the Kardinia Park Stadium Trust for this initiative, and I know there is more to come. Now everyone can attend a game or an event at the stadium regardless of their needs. Whether it is the Changing Places facility or the sensory room, it makes a huge difference for people’s lives.

Alongside the new facilities is the magnificent wall mural truly reflecting the Geelong community painted by Liam O’Neil. Liam is an active ambassador for autism awareness and acceptance and has donated unique art pieces to charities close to his heart.
