Added since the conference
Delegates are encouraged to book accommodation through the conference secretariat when registering to ensure a competitive rate.
The Conference will be held at The Esplanade Hotel. This 4½ star international hotel offers guests a choice of 300 well appointed guest rooms and suites, most with private balconies with views overlooking popular parklands, tropical gardens and swimming pools. The ‘Standard Rooms‘ held for the ACAL 2009 National Conference were refurbished in 2006 and are located on the ground level with broadband facilities and secure door entry card access.
The TradeWinds Hotel Fremantle is at 50 Canning Highway Fremantle, on the sparkling Swan River and offers amazing river views and is just 35 minutes from the centre of Perth or 15 minutes to the heart of Fremantle. The Studio Apartment is a spacious room with either a Queen or a Queen/Single bedding configuration. All rooms are non-smoking and have kitchenette facilities for those wishing to do their own catering. Accommodation is clustered around the tropical swimming pool.
Please note that your credit card details are required to guarantee your booking. Accommodation will not be confirmed until the credit card details are advised to Mike Hewitt the Event Manager. He can be contacted on (08) 9295 1980 or by email info@confad.com.au . This information will be forwarded to your hotel to confirm your booking.
No accommodation deposits will be refunded on or after 16 August 2009.
Some international flights arrive in Perth in the very early morning. As check-in is not until 1500 it is possible that your room may not be ready for immediate occupation on your early arrival. Although hotels will do everything possible to accommodate early arrival, if you wish to be guaranteed immediate occupation you can pay an extra day's tariff for the night before you are due to arrive. If you wish to take this precaution, please advise the secretariat on the registration form so that we can notify the hotel that your room is pre-registered.
Please indicate if you will arrive at your hotel after 1800 hours. Failure to do so might result in your room being released.
Any change in booking must be made in writing to the congress secretariat and NOT directly to the hotel. Charges will apply to any accommodation changes after 16 August 2009. A fee of AUD$25 per change will apply. Please send your changes in writing to info@confad.com.au .
The apartments at the TradeWinds Hotel are more spacious than standard hotel accommodation as they have a separate living and kitchen area. Please contact the hotel concierge for baby-sitting services.
Of course you can always make your own a arrangements (thank heavens for family and friends) or you can try the local 'Fremantle Focus', 'StayWA' or the hotel search 'wotif'.
