At Burwood Brickworks, we are committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment where every visitor can navigate the centre with ease.
Burwood Brickworks is proud to develop our sensory map, in collaboration with Aspect Australia - Autism Friendly. 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 Burwood Brickworks, we are committed to fostering an environment where everyone feels welcome and supported in Our Happy Place.

Sensory Areas
Lower Sensory
An area where there are some sensory inputs but these are not overpowering or competing. Not likely to cause overwhelm.
Sensory opportunity
Indicates a potentially positive sensory space. There may be an opportunity for someone who finds pleasure in a particular sense to experience positive sensory stimulation in this zone.
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.
Burwood Brickworks 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 Burwood Brickworks and ensuring your visit is enjoyable and accommodating for all.
