Accommodation near the Training Venue

The best choices would be something in Browns Plains as it is the closest. Browns Plains is 15 minutes drive north of the seminar location. Central to Browns Plains is the Grand Plaza Shopping Mall that has a wide variety of medium and low-cost restaurants and fast food outlets in this area.

Brisbane airport is 46 km from the training venue and takes around 45 minutes to drive in ordinary traffic using toll roads. It is not really possible to make pickups at Brisbane Airport at this stage. However, there are several car rental companies and taxi services at the airport.

Estimated taxi cost from Brisbane Airport to Browns Plains is approximately $90.00. With planning, using public transport, train and bus from Brisbane Airport to Grand Plaza Browns Plains will cost in the order of $31.00 Go to the Translink website to use the Journey Planner for public transport from the Brisbane Airport to Grand Plaza Browns Plains. This planner works very well and is easy to use.
