SMCT Visitor Safety

As a site with natural surrounds, tripping hazards may be present. Please remain on footpaths, watch your surroundings and wear suitable footwear for the conditions.

Please abide by all road rules when driving through our sites, including indicated speed limits and stop and give way signs. Take your time and look out for narrow roads, service and maintenance traffic, and please give way to funeral processions. Some of our visitors come into our grounds during a difficult time - if you are feeling emotionally unsettled while driving, please pull over and wait until you feel calm, focussed and able to proceed.

Please be aware that heavy equipment may be in operation at all our sites. Stay clear of work sites and ensure you ask staff before going near any works in progress.

Our grounds contain several water features such as ornamental ponds and fountains, along with storage dams for our irrigation supply. Be aware of your surroundings and mind your footing near water. If you have children in your care, please ensure you monitor their movement and consider their safety.

We have approximately 327 tree species within our grounds. Our highly trained arborist team does an amazing job to maintain these incredible assets across all nine of our sites. However, please be mindful before walking under trees, especially after storm activity.
