Getting there & parking

Parking in Surfers Paradise fills up fast on weekday mornings, so plan your arrival before registration at 7:30am.

  • Mantra Legends underground

    On site

    25 Laycock St, Surfers Paradise

    There is a limited amount of underground parking at the venue. Spaces go quickly, so you would need to get in early — around 7:30am — to have a chance at one.

  • Cypress Avenue Carpark

    Closest & cheapest

    3332 Surfers Paradise Boulevard

    $8.70 all day, and only a two minute walk to the venue.

  • Bruce Bishop Carpark

    Backup

    10 Beach Road

    533 spaces, so there is almost always room. $16.70 early bird if you are in before 8am, and about a ten minute walk.

  • Coming by tram

    No parking needed

    The G:link tram stops almost right out the front of the hotel, so the tram is an easy option if you would rather skip parking altogether.
