There is an airport at the Gold Coast, which is situated at Coolangatta. From the airport, travel north-west on the Gold Coast Highway. Turn left at Smith Street Southport (exit 66), take the Parklands Drive exit (left) and follow the signage into campus. Coolangatta airport is about 45 minutes by car from the campus.

Driving
From the Broadbeach and Surfers Paradise areas, travel north on the Gold Coast Highway. Turn left at Smith Street Southport, take the Parklands Drive exit (right) and follow the signage into campus.

From Brisbane, travel south on either the Gateway Arterial Road until it links with the Southeast Freeway or directly on the Southeast Freeway.

Having exited, follow Smith Street to the Parklands Drive exit (left). Take the Parklands Drive exit and follow the signage into campus.

Getting to other campuses

To get to the other campuses, drive to the M1 (previously named the Pacific Highway) and follow it north-west until the exit your required has been reached.
