Wait drives disabled to media
Published 17 December 2007, Posted in Northland / 1 Comment
Read one of the recent articles on the 60 metre trek from the disabled car parks to the main entrance.
Tiaho invites people to post their views.
The DSRG has been grappling with this issue, a year down the track and the track is still to far…
We believe that as the Whangarei Aquatic Centre is funded with public money, this facility should be able to be used by everyone in the community. Sure mistakes can be made but this has obviously dragged on for a significant period of time.
We reckon that the disabled car park should be given high priority and sorted so that people with disabilities can enjoy these facilities.
We want people to use this website to express their opinions and experiences of the Whangarei Aquatic Centre and we will make sure that the Disability Sector Reference Group receives this information to lobby Sport Northland to make appropriate changes.

Whangarei Council should be ashamed for making such a blunder. For the problem not being rectified quickly is unacceptable as well. Get a move on Whangarei Council.

Minnie’s presentation on Be Accessibe was truly inspiring. disappointing to see those most in need of ‘enlightenment’ were absent….a great build up for the RWC and way beyond so up to those who did attend to be vocal! and spread the Be word!
