Parking

There are a number of areas in which you can park your vehicle. You may park in the Expo grounds (Nambour Showgrounds) for a daily cost of $7.00 per car. All proceeds from our car parking fees are donated direct to the local service clubs such as Lions (Woombye/Palmwoods), Rotary 76 Nambour, Rotary Mooloolaba and so on. All monies raised from this activity are donated back to the community via these clubs. There is also other parking available in the streets around the Nambour Showgrounds, at the Nambour Primary School or in other designated areas as advertised.




 

Travelling by Car

Two main exits off the Bruce Highway will lead you directly to the Garden Expo. Travelling south on the Bruce Highway you will take the Parklands Exit and travelling north from Brisbane you will take the Nambour/Maroochydore exit (follow the Big Pineapple signage).

Watch out for the lit signs that say EXPO Traffic - next exit.

The gates do not open before 8.00am and cars queing on the road will be waved on by police.

We ask for your assistance and patience to avoid traffic hold ups.

Travelling by Bus  

If you are travelling by a Sunbus service to Nambour there are a few alternatives for you to consider. If you disembark at Nambour Station you can catch the free Garden Expo Shuttle Bus to the Showgrounds. You may also wish to disembark at the Badminton Hall bus stop which is located directly in front of the Nambour Showgrounds. A short walk down the hill towards the High School will bring you to the main entrance gates at the showgrounds.
