Accommodation Booking Information

The conference has secured a block booking in each of the listed hotels. Rooms will be allocated on a first in basis until 25 June 2009 as long as there are rooms available. Rooms can only be booked by registered delegates. After this date the rooms will be released and no guarantee can be made that rooms will still be available for late bookings.

Bookings should be made as part of the on-line registration process or on the registration form in this brochure. 

Accommodation booked must be guaranteed with a credit card. The credit card will be used as a guarantee only and no charges will be debited prior to check-out (apart from any cancellation fees that may apply).  Cancellation fees may apply any time within the month prior to conference.

On check-out your accommodation costs and incidentals can be settled with cash, eftpos or any credit card. If you wish to charge back to your council this can be done during check-out, as long as the council has made a prior arrangement directly with the hotel concerned.

All prices are per night and exclusive of GST and breakfast.
