Cockatoo Island / Waremah is a large site, we will have plenty of seating however the walk to and from the Ferry Terminal to our entry and from the yacht berth to our entry is quite far. We will be running a very small number of buggies to and from the transfer points to assist people with mobility needs; however, these may incur a wait period.

Wheelchairs and electric wheelchairs are permitted in all areas of Sydney Harbour Concours; however, please remember our event is only accessible by ferry (with gangplank access), and the location is a heritage-listed industrial complex with uneven flooring.

Guide dogs and registered service animals are permitted; however, Sydney Harbour Trust does not permit pets or any non-service animal on Cockatoo Island / Wareamah. If bringing a registered service animal, please remember this is a live event with amplified music, loud cars and car movements.

Unfortunately, due to the heritage precinct nature of the site, we do not currently have unisex bathrooms within the event footprint, but Cockatoo Island provides them in the public access area of the island. We do hope to add this in future.
