MOVING AROUND THE FESTIVAL AND CAMPGROUNDS

CMC Rocks QLD is a large outdoor event and the Festival Site and Campground can be affected by inclement weather.

This means the grass area, paths and roads can become very muddy.  We recommend you consider this in planning your attendance at the Festival and we encourage you to take extra precautions when moving around the Festival Site and Campground. As always, notify Festival personnel if you require assistance at any time.

Festival Site

The Festival is located within Willowbank Raceway which is largely grassed with some bitumen paths and gravelled areas. The area is mostly flat, some parts are slightly sloped and there are some uneven surfaces across the Festival Site. The gravel and bitumen areas are not around the entire Festival Site.

Campground

The Campground is located within the Willowbank Raceway precinct and Queensland Raceway precinct and is predominantly large grass fields with some bitumen and/or gravel unsealed roads.

Campground A is the most accessible to the Festival Site and Promoter recommends Campground Aas the best option for any patrons who have accessibility requirements.

All Campgrounds will have accessible amenities.

ACCESSIBLE PARKING

Accessible Car Parking is available at the Festival.

Vehicles with a valid disability parking permit will still be required to purchase a car parking ticket.

You can pre-book your parking ticket HERE.

Promoter will provide further details about the location and access to Accessible Parking closer to the Festival.

FACILITIES & AMENITIES IN CAMPGROUNDS

There are accessible showers and toilets in a dedicated area* in each Campground.

If you require use of accessible amenities in the Campgrounds, please ensure you apply for Accessible and Companion Card tickets, and submit your request to AXS Customer Support HERE.
