Our main venue for the conference is the Inspire Centre (Building 25) on the University of Canberra (UC) campus. The Inspire Centre (Building 25) is on the North-west corner of the Pantowora St and the Belconnen Walk footpath. A campus map can be found here.
Please note: UC is a tobacco and smoke-free University. This means that the sale and use of tobacco products is prohibited on the campus.

From Belconnen
Your Guide to Walking and Cycling in Belconnen lays out the walking and cycling paths in Belconnen and includes UC. The area is serviced by both Neuron and Beam electric scooters and they are plentiful.
From Canberra City
If you are staying in Civic, (or looking to get to the City from UC Campus), you have the following options:
1) Walk, 90 mins.
​
From Civic, this will take you along the Turner canal, through O’Connor and across the pleasant Bruce Ridge. Take route C3a on the Canberra Walking and Cycling Map. It’s a shared pedestrian/bike track.
​
2) Bike, 30 mins.
​
There’s a bit of a hill on the way to UC, and a lovely glide down it on the way back. Use the same route as the walkers: C3a on the Canberra Walking and Cycling Map.
For a list of bike hire options, see here.
​
3) Scooter, 25 mins.
​
There are ample Neuron and Beam electric scooters, in Civic and on campus. Again, you’ll be following the same route as the walkers and the cyclists, Route C3a on the Canberra Walking and Cycling Map. Do be warned that the scooters have no real suspension, and most people will feel the impact of a ride of this length on their legs. Providing your own suspension by bending the knees helps
​
4) Bus, 15 mins.
​
Busses leave for the university from Platform 1 on Alinga St, in Civic. The platform is opposite the Canberra GPO (anyone will be able to direct you to that). Routes 2, 3 and 4 all go past the university.
Please see Google Maps for further details as to routes and times.

NB YOU CANNOT BUY TICKETS ON CANBERRAN BUSSES
​
The best way to go is to purchase a “My Way” pass, which is available for $2.50 from selected outlets. You put money on it at the time of purchase. For prices and the like, please see here.
The two outlets in Civic where you can obtain a “My Way” pass are:
-EzyMart at 65 Northbourne Ave, Civic (open 6 or 7am-11pm, 7 days)
-Supa24 Convenience Store, at 2 Mort st, Civic (open 6 or 7am-11pm or later, 7 days)
​
Both are within a 3 minute walk from Platform 1.
You can also purchase more expensive, 1 day tickets, from the vending machines at the tram stops on Northbourne Ave.
​
5) Drive, 10 mins.
Free on street parking is available in Lawson and parts of Bruce.
On the UC campus the nearest car parks are P9B, P9C and P9D. For other parking options at UC, see the campus parking maps and head to the “parking” tab. For parking prices, see here.
