Early Accommodation Advice
The AVD event 'hub' will be at the Nambour Showgrounds. The Gala Dinner event will take place in Maroochydore.
Camping. There will be powered camping available at the Nambour showground site. Booking as part of the ticketing process.
Accom within Nambour will fill quickly. The distance between Nambour and Maroochydore / Mooloolaba is very short. If you have your own transport (Vespa) then there are hundreds of options between Nambour and Maroochydore Mooloolaba.
If you don't have transport we recommend you arrange accommodation close to the 610 or 612 Bus routes.
Go!
Travel Advice 2. Sunshine Coast Airport (Maroochydore) to Nambour.
If you're flying to the event then we recommend that flying in directly to the Sunshine Coast Airport is the better option.
Qantas, Jetstar, and Virgin regularly service the airport.

Airport Bus 622 to Maroochydore Station. (20 mins)
From Maroochydore Bus 610 Platform 2 (across the road) 35 mins to Nambour. Route 610
Taxi. Nambour is only 17 kms from the Sunshine Coast Airport, so a Taxi is a reasonable option straight from there. Sunshine Coast Cabs
Travel Advice 1. Brisbane Airport to Nambour
