Getting here
PARKING
The Star Gold Coast offers a secure, undercover car park to guests using the facilities. However, parking availability is limited and cannot be guaranteed. We recommend that alternative modes of transport or parking options be considered.
Casual parking rates and a full breakdown of all parking tariffs are available on The Star's website.
PUBLIC TRANSPORT
If you are wishing to use public transport you can still access the island via the closest bus stops located at Broadbeach North (outside of GCCEC), Pacific Fair, and Broadbeach South (across from Pacific Fair).
The G:link will be operating as usual with trams every 7.5 minutes. The closest stop is Broadbeach North and from there, a very easy stroll to The Star.
SCREEN FOREVER 39 has an Access Coordinator engaged to assist delegates with any
accessibility questions or needs.
Stephanie Dower is available to support anyone who identifies as D/deaf, disabled, and/or neurodivergent.
If you have any access requirements you'd like to discuss, please email her directly or contact the SPA Team on 02 9360 8988
The Star Event Centre is an accessible venue.
Accessible parking bays are located close to the car park entrance lobby.
Accessible toilets are available throughout the venue.
SPA provides Auslan interpreter services for all plenary sessions on day 1 and for the SPA Awards.
To make the conference more accessible, we will include captions on videos played in sessions this year.
A low-sensory, quiet room for those who need to take a break from the high-energy environment will again be running through the conference. This room will be operating at all times when conference sessions are running.
