Assistance & Companion Animals

Nyaal Banyul welcomes delegates with Seeing Eye Dogs and recognised service animals. While there are no designated animal relief areas onsite, the grassy area along the waterfront side of the building is the most suitable option, with bins available for convenient waste disposal.

A multi-faith space, including a foot-washing facility, is located next to the Parenting Room on Level 1. This space is open to the public and can also be reserved for your event upon request.

We have a limited number of wheelchairs available for daily loan. Delegates can reserve a wheelchair in advance by contacting the venue’s Customer Service or collect one on the day of the event, subject to availability.
