Except for the Airport and City Centre, you are advised to pre-book taxis.

Many taxi drivers are not familiar with the city and seem to depend on their GPS. It is a good idea to orientate yourself to the venue in case you need to give directions.

PUBLIC BUS SERVICE - ACTION

The nearest bus stop to the Conference Centre is the first bus stop on College Street after Hayden Drive coming from the City or the last stop on College Street if coming from the direction of Belconnen.

There is a footpath that takes you to the right of Building 13 (see map on page 1) to Building 24 (Ann Harding Centre).

All ‘Blue Rapid’ (300 series) buses pass College Street. These buses travel between Belconnen and the City. Buses depart every 5-8 minutes between 7am and 7pm on weekdays and every 15 minutes in the evening.
