Visitor access & bus bay

730 Sackville Ferry Road, Sackville North NSW 2756

All visiting school groups arriving by bus must use the designated bus bay on Sackville Ferry Road.

Buses must not attempt to access the centre via Chapel Hill Road, as the road is narrow and unsuitable for large vehicles.

From the bus bay, visitors follow a short, signposted walking track downhill to the centre.

Accessibility & mobility

Visitors with specific mobility requirements may access the centre directly via Chapel Hill Road using smaller vehicles.

For students arriving by bus who require mobility assistance, Brewongle staff can arrange transport from the bus bay to the centre in our centre vehicle.

Please advise our team of any mobility or accessibility requirements before your visit so appropriate arrangements can be made.
