When Central Queensland University lecturer Sasha Job attended a disability expo in Rockhampton, everyone with a mobility limitation told her they could not go to the beach.
Parking spaces are often too far away, wheelchairs arenât equipped to go over soft sand, and a lack of accessible amenities makes it near impossible for many people with physical disabilities to make it to the water.
Ms Job is now leading research into how to make beaches more accessible to all.
She spoke with and promoted her study to many people who attended Rockhamptonâs Disability Expo on Friday, May 21.
