Disability services
Brisbane City Council provides facilities that make it easier for everyone to access the city's services.
Braille trail
The Braille Traille runs down both sides of the Queen Street Mall. There are six cross over trails between the two main trails. The trail also now runs through Reddacliff Place between the Treasury Casino and Brisbane Square Building.
Tiles with ridges indicate the direction of travel along the trail. Tiles with raised dots are used as warnings.
