Access to the City and Hyde Park
 

For people with a disability being dropped off or picked up in the City, we recommend using the First Night managed access point at the corner of Pitt and King Street. To access this area, you must travel eastbound on King Street, and turn left into Pitt. This site provides a small area for vehicles to pull into, and for passengers to disembark. Wheelchair access is available from this point to the CBD and Hyde Park.
