GENERAL INFORMATION

Getting to the Congress

Gold Coast Airport
The Gold Coast Airport is less than 20 kilometres from the Gold Coast and Convention Centre with regular flights from all capital cities and some Queensland regional centres.

Regular bus and shuttle services are available from Gold Coast Airport to Broadbeach. For further information please visit www.goldcoastairport.com.au

Brisbane Airport
If you are arriving at Brisbane Airport, this is around 80km north of the Gold Coast but there are several options to get from the airport including train, bus, car, taxi, limo and shuttle. A taxi from Brisbane to the Gold Coast is outside the metered zones and so you would need to ask the driver for a quote, an estimate would be between $150 and $300. You can catch a train directly from the domestic or international terminals directly to the Gold Coast which will take around 90 minutes.
