New scooter station at Clayton campus

9 April 2008

A $150,000 scooter station has opened at Clayton to help mobility-impaired staff and students get around the campus.

The new station, which will house six electrically operated scooters, is located on the ground floor of the North One multi-storey car park beside the disabled parking bays.

The Equity and Diversity Centre's Senior Disability Liaison Officer Shae McGregor said the new scooter station was an exciting addition to the Clayton campus.

"People will be able to park in a disabled bay then use a swipe card to gain access to the station," Ms McGregor said.

"Then they can then come straight down the spine of the campus.

"Taxis will also be able to pull up outside the station."

Students will need to register with the Disabled Liaison Unit (DLU) to be eligible for a swipe card and staff will be required to contact the unit directly for a card.

The scooters will be available to all students and staff with either a temporary or long-term mobility disabling condition.
