Free mobility scooters
Wellington takes pride in our reputation as an inclusive and socially responsible city that is accessible, safe and easy to get around.
An accessible city encourages diversity and helps the city to stay attractive to residents and visitors of any age and ability.
The Council wants to make Wellington even more inclusive for all. In line with this aim, we've prepared a draft action plan outlining a set of specific goals to make sure everyone can fully participate in community and civic life.
Disability Access
There are a number of car parks and public toilets with disability access in central Wellington.
