Transport

Newcastle is a fantastic city to get around. All accommodation for the Games is centrally located and sporting events are easy to get to as most are only minutes away from the CBD.

We encourage participants to use their own car at the Games. For those requiring transport during the Games, minibus transport to sporting venues and events will be available. Priority on all mini-buses will be given to those competing at the events and non-competitors may therefore have to travel on later buses.

You can choose which games transport option suits you best when you register. Please note that coach transfers from and to the Civic Center are included for those registered for the Gala Celebration at Merewether Surfhouse.

Flying and transferring to accommodation

Book well in advance to secure the cheapest airfare. You can now fly direct to Newcastle from many Australian Capital cities. Transfers from Newcastle airport to accommodation venues is available upon request only. We will confirm if we can provide transfers for your particular flight. In some cases where two flights arrive within a short period you may have to wait for the arrival of the later flight. There are commercial coach transfers available for all flight that will take you to within blocks of the Games Accommodation.

We recommend you consider flying to and from Sydney as you will find more flight options and cheaper fares are available. Consider renting a car to drive to Newcastle from Sydney as it is an easy two hour drive or use the regular bus service from Sydney airport or Sydney's Central Station to Newcastle.
