Lowering volume to increase inclusion
MORAYFIELD Shopping Centre demonstrates a strong commitment to fostering an inclusive shopping environment by collaborating with retailers to implement initiatives such as Quiet Hours.
These efforts aim to accommodate shoppers who may experience sensory sensitivities, ensuring a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere for all.
Understanding Quiet Hours:
Quiet Hours are designated periods during which retailers modify their in-store environments to reduce sensory stimuli. These adjustments typically include dimming lights, lowering music volumes, minimizing public announcements, and limiting other potential distractions. The goal is to create a calming space for individuals who may find standard shopping conditions overwhelming, such as those with autism spectrum disorders, sensory processing sensitivities, or other related conditions.
Retailers at Morayfield Supporting Quiet Hours:
Kmart – Every Wednesday, 3:30pm – 5:30pm
Target – Every Wednesday, 3:30pm – 5:30pm
Woolworths – Monday to Friday, 10:30am – 11:30am
Coles – Every Tuesday, 10:30am – 11:30am & Monday to Friday, 6:00pm – 7:00pm
CeX – Every Tuesday, 9:30am – 10:30am
These initiatives reflect the Centre’s dedication to inclusivity, ensuring that all shoppers have access to a comfortable and accommodating retail environment. By collaborating with retailers to implement Quiet Hours, Morayfield Shopping Centre not only enhances the shopping experience for individuals with sensory sensitivities but also fosters a sense of community and support.
