Getting to Noosa
For delegates arriving from outside Australia, the easiest way to get to Noosa is to fly to Brisbane airport. From there, you can hire a shuttle bus. A return fare should be around $160 AUD. The journey from the airport to Peppers should take around 2 hours.
An alternative option is to take a coach, which will drop you off near the Noosa Centre. You can then catch a taxi or walk (around 10 mins) to Peppers Resort.
If you choose to hire your own car, we recommend contacting Peppers Resort about parking availability.
For delegates arriving from within Australia, the simplest option is to fly directly to Sunshine Coast Airport (MCY) in Maroochydore, which is about 30 km from Noosa. From there, it is approximately 30 minutes by taxi to Noosa and a one-way fare should cost around $100.
Other activities
