At Ed.Square Town Centre, we are committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment where every visitor can navigate the centre with ease.
Ed.Square Town Centre is proud to develop our sensory map, in collaboration with Autism Spectrum Australia. We understand the importance of creating inclusive spaces for all visitors, and our sensory map is designed to enhance the shopping experience for individuals with sensory sensitivities. This map provides valuable information about areas within our centre, highlighting sensory-friendly zones and offering helpful tips to navigate the environment comfortably. At Ed.Square Town Centre, we are committed to fostering an environment where everyone feels welcome and supported.

Sensory Areas
Lower Sensory
An area where there are some sensory inputs but these are not overpowering or competing. Not likely to cause overwhelm.
Medium Sensory
An area with moderate levels of sensory input. There may be competing sensory inputs. These zones indicate the need for somestrategies and have an increased chance of leading to overwhelm.
Higher Sensory
An area with heightened sensory input or with multiple overlapping / competing sensory inputs simultaneously. Requires the need for coping strategies and has a high likelihood of leading to overwhelm.
Sensory maps are used to prepare a person and increase the predictability of a new environment and indicate calmer, quieter places if needed. This helps to reduce sensory overwhelm, anxiety and stress.
Ed.Square Town Centre was assessed by Aspect’s Autism Friendly team on a typical, busy day. Their team members on the autism spectrum conducted a walkthrough of common areas, giving live feedback about their experience and advising on potential positives, challenges and solutions. Individual retailers and car parks were not assessed. We look forward to welcoming you to Ed.Square Town Centre and ensuring your visit is enjoyable and accommodating for all.
