[edit] Access and Transport
Rhodes railway station is less than 5 minutes walk from the northern entrance. Vehicle access is available from either direction of travel on Homebush Bay Drive. There is usually plenty of parking, except for peak times such as just prior to Christmas. Parking is free for the first three hours, or four hours if you show a movie ticket issued during that time. A shuttle bus service runs at peak times to nearby businesses, mainly to cater for lunchtime shopping during the week.
Wheelchair access is quite good with direct external flat access to both retail levels and internal travelators between the levels and lifts to all floors.
