🚗 DISABILITY & GENERAL PARKING INFO 🚗 - There will be a disability car park located close to the festival entry gates. We have tried our best to accommodate adequate disabled parking, however, given the festival is being held at football fields, it is limited and first in best dressed. - Once the disability car park is filled, traffic control will filter cars into an overflow disability car park located in the main car park. - Traffic control will only allow vehicles to enter the disabled car park if there is a disability sticker displayed. - There is a dedicated Elders drop off and pick up zone. Those with mobility issues can utilise this as well. - COOEE Staff will be available to pick up Elders from the Entry gate in buggies and drop them to the Elders hub if required. - There is plenty of general parking in the main car park but should that get filled, there is an overflow car park as well. - Traffic Control will be there to assist and guide all vehicles. Please see map below for all information. If you have any questions, please reach out and our team will do our very best to assist with your questions! Please be mindful before making negative comments that we are trying our best to accommodate everyone.

Disability access ramps empower individuals with disabilities to travel independently and participate fully in society. Whether on public transport, such as trains, taxis or personal vehicles, these ramps ensure safe and efficient boarding and disembarking for wheelchair users, reducing the need for assistance. This not only enhances freedom and autonomy but also lowers barriers to employment, education, and social activities. By facilitating independent driving or passenger travel and minimizing the risk of injury, disability vehicle access ramps are essential for fostering accessibility and inclusion across all modes of transportation.

World Disability Day, observed annually on December 3, emphasises the need for inclusivity and accessibility for individuals with disabilities, focusing this year on improving transportation systems, particularly buses. Custom Denning, an Australian bus manufacturer, has made significant strides in enhancing bus designs to better accommodate passengers with mobility challenges, including the introduction of low-floor electric buses that provide easier access for all users. https://bit.ly/3BbuJG0 #customdenning #AccessibilityMatters #worlddisabilityday #australianmanufacturing #australiandesign #australianengineering

I learned about Hidden Disabilities Sunflower 💜 a short time ago, and am reflecting on my airport experiences in the past two years since acquiring a hidden disability from two brain injuries. If you feel stress and anxiety through an airport experience, recognize that folks with hidden disabilities who need different, specific adjustments may have those same feelings x 1000. My lanyard and customized tag is on order for my next trip! Thanks for sharing this, Julian. ✈️ P.S. Hidden Disabilities Sunflower 💜 also offers digital awareness options for your email signature, digital meeting background, and a digital poster.

Make Way Day is a national initiative aimed at raising awareness about the obstacles people with disabilities face in their everyday lives. Organized by the Disability Federation of Ireland (DFI), this day focuses on promoting accessibility and reminding everyone of the small but significant steps we can take to make our communities more inclusive.    It’s easy to overlook how everyday items like wheelie bins, bicycles, and illegally parked cars can become major barriers for those with mobility challenges, people using wheelchairs, those with visual impairments, or parents pushing prams. For these individuals, a seemingly minor obstruction can force dangerous detours into traffic or even prevent them from reaching their destination altogether.    On Make Way Day, we ask you to be mindful of where you leave things. Clearing footpaths and public spaces of unnecessary obstacles makes a world of difference to someone who relies on accessible routes. Next time you take out the bin, park your car, or leave your bike, take a moment to ensure it’s not blocking the way for someone else.    Let’s all work together to create a community where everyone can move freely and safely.  #makewayday24 #wehear #morethanhousing #tenantfirst

🌟🔹 In another first, Barefoot Trust attended a significant State Level Consultative Committee meeting on Accessible Transport on 13/11/2024 after being invited by the Governor as a co-opted member, where critical decisions were made to enhance accessibility for Persons with Disabilities (PwDs). This committee is entrusted with monitoring the functionality of accessible transportation in the state. 🌟🔹 We were lucky to have the Chief Secretary, Shri Donald Wahlang (I.A.S) chair the session as well as the valuable insights of the Principal Secretary, Shri Sampath Kumar (I.A.S) supported by the Commissioner for Persons with Disability, Kong Doreen Lyngwa. Key Highlights: ♿ Strategic Progress: - STEMS representative to be included in the State Level Committee - 25 out of 50 new EV buses will be fully accessible - Commitment to implement accessible transport initiatives with a sense of urgency 🤝 Civil Society Organizations shared valuable insights: - Phase-wise implementation approach recommended - End-to-end research methodology proposed - Potential CSR funding collaborations - Focus on inclusive design benefiting seniors, children & PwDs - Integration with traffic congestion reduction strategies 📢 Suggested Action Points: - Lay down a short-term, mid-term and long action plan for the implementation of accessible transportation - Enhanced awareness through social media & radio channels - Mr Ferdinand Marshillong spoke very persuasively about the urgent need for the universal implementation of PwD concession rates - Special vehicle identification system for PwD-owned vehicles - Last-mile connectivity improvements It's encouraging to see multi-stakeholder collaboration between government departments, civil society organizations, and disability rights groups. This marks a significant step toward making our transport system truly inclusive and accessible for all. We have much to do and very little time to do it in. #AccessibleTransport #Inclusion #Disability #SustainableTransport #PublicTransport #Transportation #Accessibility #PWD #InclusiveDesign Ferdinand Lyngdoh Sweet Syiemiong Dylan Robby Jones Syiem Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment, GOI Sampath Kumar National Centre for Promotion of Employment for Disabled People

Individuals with disabilities make up between twelve and twenty-five percent of the population, which makes accessible technical content crucial to the success of the products technical communicators support. At ConVEX 2024, I will be speaking about improvements in accessibility support in DITA and the DITA Open Toolkit, as well as other developments in accessibility and disability rights since I last presented on the subject ten years ago. I will also be sitting on a DITA 2.0 panel, and co-presenting about integration of iIRDS, the Intelligent Information Request and Delivery Standard, with DITA content. It’s going to be a busy ConVEX! #DITA #accessibility #ConVEX2024 #iIRDS
