About the host town | Caloundra
Caloundra is located at the southern end of Queensland’s beautiful Sunshine Coast, only an hour’s drive north of Brisbane.  Caloundra and its surrounding region stretch from the cool green of the hinterland mountains to the crisp blue and white of the ocean and beaches.

Caloundra - Kings Beach - Moffat Beach - Shelly Beach is a mixed use area, with residential, commercial and industrial land use.

Caloundra is named from an Aboriginal word meaning "place of beach tree". Kings Beach is named after the King family, early residents in the area. Moffat Beach is named after James Moffat, an early resident in the area. Shelly Beach is thought to be named due to the large amounts of shells which are deposited on that stretch of shoreline.

The Conference will be held at the Sunshine Coast Function Centre:
19 West Terrace
Caloundra QLD 4551
