A crafty day out, with accessibility in mind.

I Should be so crafty

Event Cinemas Hurstville is a very accommodating venue for accessibility needs. Located at the top level of the Westfield there is car parking, ramps, and lifts nearby the front entrance of the site. While the front entrance has stairs, there is a lift installed to the far right of these steps. To use the lift you just have to contact staff and a manager will be promptly present to activate it. There is also an additional lift further into the cinema on the concourse that is adjacent to the car park in the event that the main lift is unusable. 

There is a unisex accessible bathroom in the foyer on the right hand side at the entrance that is maintained by staff onsite. The foyer itself is very spacious, even in the cramped lineup towards the candy bar there should still be ample space for wheelchairs and other mobility devices. 

In the cinemas themselves at the back of each cinema there are spots that are reserved for wheelchairs and any other companions. The entrance to all normal cinemas is on even ground, these exclusive spaces at the top of each cinema next to the entrance. Each regular cinema has a ramp up the isle so if you’d prefer alternative seating to the usual accessible spaces they can also be accessed fairly easily as long as now equipment is blocking the isle. 
In the V-Max cinemas however due to there being stairs to access most of the cinema, these accessibility spaces are at the front of the cinema rather than at the back thus limiting view of the screen. 
Overall Event Cinemas Hurstville is a very accessible venue, with very accomodating staff if any standards are not met.

Lilong is a Chinese restaurant located on the Hurstville Westfields rooftop, the first restaurant along the accessibility ramp coming up from the car park and lifts.

While it has a tight design, there is enough room for wheelchair access, provided it isn’t a bulky machine. It has a mix of outdoor space and indoor space. The section that is outdoors is a long corridor that may he cramped for a wheelchair however inside there is moderately more space along bigger table arrangements.

The nearest bathrooms are the public ones attached to the rooftop section of the Westfield, located further down the dining areas near the Thai and burger restaurants.

Thai Thae itself has lots of space, particularly outdoors it’s seating arrangements are very gracious and accommodating for wheelchair and pram usage.

Elatte is a little cafe located in the suburb of Padstow Heights across the road from its iconic water tower. 

Access is not as straight forward is is could be, as it's located in an old suburban house there is no dedicated parking spaces and lots of steps leading into the front entrance. In light of this however there is ample street parking nearby and also a side entrance that leads into a nice outdoor seating courtyard. Additionally out the front of the building there is smaller tables for outdoor service.  

In the courtyard there is some space for a wheelchair however, it is especially tight due to the big tables and benches along the fence. There is also a bathroom on site however it's access is limited having to go up some stairs in order to enter the building. Once inside there is ample space in the bathroom but no rails or other tools of assistance. It is also a shared all gender bathroom. 

Overall the staff seem accommodating if there is accessibly needs however are very limited by the space of the building.
