In Sydney Merivale’ s $ 56 million precinct development across York, Clarence and King Streets will create a 24-hour lifestyle destination with boutique hotel, multiple venues, rooftop lounge and wellness spa. Expected completion is 2026 pending approvals. The CBD location and venue variety offers convenient options for post-conference networking.
EAs booking before 31st December can secure free conference room and AV hire at Kingfisher Bay Resort on K’ gari( Fraser Island). This applies to events held before 31st July 2026, and it’ s a saving that could trim thousands from your events budget!
The award-winning eco-resort, just a short ferry ride from Hervey Bay on Queensland’ s Fraser Coast, combines purpose-built conference facilities with a World Heritage-listed setting that naturally encourages creative thinking and team connection. Meeting spaces accommodate groups from intimate board meetings to conferences of 200. And dedicated on-island event coordinators manage logistics so you can focus on strategic outcomes.
What sets this venue apart for corporate groups is the integration of unique team experiences within the conference program. Between sessions, delegates can participate in guided island tours, beach activities or wildlife encounters; the kind of memorable moments that strengthen professional relationships long after the event concludes. The resort’ s sustainability credentials also tick the CSR box for organisations prioritising environmental responsibility in their venue selection.
For multi-day conferences, the property offers 152 rooms across hotel and self-contained villa accommodation, multiple dining venues and the practical advantage of having everything contained on-site. That means no taxi coordination, no scattered accommodation bookings and no delegates arriving late from different hotels. S
In New Zealand The Roki Collection has opened in Queenstown with 15 luxury suites featuring spa-equipped balconies and lake views. While not a conference venue, the property’ s private dining spaces suit board-level retreats or VIP incentive groups. Rates from NZ $ 2,500 per night.
