TAKE A FRESH LOOK AT BRISBANE

Brisbane just keeps getting better. There’s an energy about the Queensland capital which ensures you’re bound to discover something new for your conference or incentive travel itinerary every time you visit.

The city hotels continue to upgrade and refurbish their function and guestrooms and the event planner can rely on the big name brands of the hotel industry in Brisbane to deliver what was specified on time and on budget.

The amenities around the Brisbane River continue to evolve and this once neglected asset of the city is now being shown off to her absolute best.

Teambuilding activities can be organised along the river, just minutes from your meeting space, with activities including challenges for all shapes and sizes of conference delegates.

Within a space of 200m, they can rock-climb, abseil, kayak, rollerblade, bike, box or just lie down and be massaged, as they peer across the river at the Brisbane skyline. It’s an ideal ice-breaker or teambuilding activity for groups meeting in Brisbane. Everyone can get there on foot from just about anywhere in the central business district.

Also on the river and abutting the business district is Brisbane’s historic Customs House. The venue has been immaculately maintained and provides a strong sense of occasion.

South Bank is Brisbane’s playground, with its riverside beach and endless array of events all year round. It’s a wonderful, lively spot and is magnificently maintained. You can incorporate their events into your conference program by simply consulting their website – www.visitsouthbank.com.au

With half a day in hand at a conference, Morton Island is well worth visiting for the dolphin feeding, sand-boarding and other leisure activities offered by its well-run resort. You can reach the island by high-speed catamaran from the Brisbane River or, if your budget allows, by a scenic helicopter flight.
