getting there

Arriving by Air

• Ballina Byron Gateway Airport is the closest option—just a 15-minute drive from the venue.

• Gold Coast Airport (Coolangatta) is around a 1-hour drive away.
   

Transfers

While there won’t be a dedicated Forum shuttle from the airports, there are plenty of local transfer options and rideshare services (Uber, etc.) to get you to Lennox Head. Here are a few handy links:

• Byron Bay Transfers – Lennox Head

• Byron Bay Shuttle

• Byron Bay Express

• Ezy Transfers
       If you're flying into Gold Coast Airport, you may need to travel to Byron Bay first, then transfer from there to Lennox Head.

Forum Shuttle Bus

If you have a transfer that only takes you as far as the township of Lennox Head,  a Forum shuttle will run between the township and the venue, departing from the Ballina Street bus shelter (see map), on the ocean side next door to the public toilets and opposite Quattro Cafe located at 90 Ballina Street.

• Friday 17 October (3pm-6pm to the venue)

• Sunday 19 October (4pm-7pm from the venue)

There's also a lovely flat walking track starting from the intersection of Camp Drewe Rd and Pacific Parade next to the Lennox Head–Alstonville Surf Club near Reflections Holiday Park—it’s less than 1km (about 10 minutes on foot) and takes you straight to the venue. Perfect if you’re staying nearby!

Parking

There’s plenty of free onsite parking at the venue for those driving.
