13. Inclusive Design: Cutaways of staircase

Accessibility and inclusivity were key considerations in the design of the Victorian Pride Centre. During community consultation, feedback highlighted the need for improved wheelchair access, particularly in shared spaces. 

As a result, the central staircase was redesigned with cutaway elements, ensuring that wheelchair users can actively participate as both audience members and performers when the stairs and mezzanine are used as a stage. This modification reflects the Centre’s commitment to creating a space where everyone can engage, connect, and be seen.
