To ensure all customers can navigate around the enclosed Te Awa mall with ease, entrances are controlled by automatic doors, aisles are wide with good LED lighting and escalators, travelators and lifts provide good access to all levels of the centre from street level and basement carparking, making accessibility to shops and facilities easy.
Access to outdoor retail areas is also facilitated through accessible parking in multiple areas and the provision of well-lit, covered, smooth and stable walkways with road crossing assistance around the site.  Find your way around the centre with high-contrast signage throughout.
